Rheanne works closely with GiGi's Playhouse Twin Cities, a non-profit Down syndrome achievement and resource center. She began working with GiGi's Playhouse Twin Cities in 2016. Working closely with the board, they determined that social skills and group therapy programs were an area of need. So she created a social skills curriculum designed for all ages (young learners through adults), piloted the program, and now runs weekly sessions.
After 2 years of successful social skills programs, Rheanne and the team at GiGi's wanted to take social skills for adults a step further. With the help of a former chef turned volunteer turned operations manager, they created what is now the successful EPIC program for adults. This program consists of three components: fitness, nutrition and cooking, and social skills/self advocacy all wrapped up into one night.
