Abil-OT Kids Therapy
11183 Bus US 70, Clayton, NC 27520

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration between Gigi’s Playhouse and Abil-OT Kids Therapy! Starting on March 28th at 10:30 AM, we will kick off our partnership with the LMNOP Group —a special program designed to support children and families in a fun, engaging, and therapeutic environment.

LMNOP is an interactive and engaging program for children age newborn to 36 months old. It guides parents and young children through learning basic sign language and other forms of communication using music and language-based activities.

LMNOP supports the therapeutic-based development of young children with Down syndrome with goals of achieving the following:

• Introduce and practice the use of basic signs/gestures/pictures to support language development.

• Increase language development, with focus on vocabulary development, following basic directions and social interaction with peers using music, stories, and play.

• Introduce transitions and circle time; key skills needed to prepare children for pre-school and beyond.

Additional Offerings Coming Soon: Gigi Fit fitness & kitchen cooking classes

We’re glad you’re here!

At Abil-OT Kids Therapy, we provide expert care in occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, and child & family counseling.
