- Abstract
After completing the needs assessment with my site mentor, we discovered a lack of resources for adults with Down syndrome. With this information, we wanted to evaluate the current adult program at GiGi’s Playhouse to create new resources and activities. This program evaluation and its research is provided to help show that new resources can improve an individual’s perceived communication skills, collaboration, and independence. A binder was created to include a literature review, lesson plans, goals, resources, interviews, and applications for the program. Parents voiced their opinions on wanting participants to learn and practice communication (71%), teamwork (29%), and independence skills (29%) through a Google Form. The pre-survey was used to determine which skills would be most important to include in the binder. A final Google Form was sent out to parents and caregivers on satisfaction with program content, 57% reported to be extremely satisfied, 29% reported satisfied, and 14% reported that it meets expectations. Based on participant’s communication skills, 14% were extremely satisfied, 71% reported satisfied, and 14% reported that it meets expectations. The E.P.I.C. binder can be utilized for future capstone students, volunteers, and staff members within GiGi’s Playhouse to support adults with Down syndrome engaging in the community.
