More Than Just 2 Adorable Farm Animals
While the 2 newborn lambs are sure to bring smiles to children, families and staff, Pediatrics Plus says the animals will also play an important role in its innovative approach to childhood therapy.
The organization’s Farm model combines clinical therapy services with outdoor experiences and meaningful activities involving animals, gardening, movement and purposeful play.
Kandace Scott, Cabot Farm senior director for Pediatrics Plus, said the organization is excited to welcome the new animals while inviting the community to participate in their story.
“We are so excited to welcome the newest animals to our Farm, and we want the community to be part of their story,” Scott said.
She explained that animal-related activities provide opportunities for children to work toward individual therapy goals.
“For our friends at the Farm, experiences like grooming, feeding and interacting with animals can become meaningful opportunities to work toward therapy goals,” Scott said.
According to Scott, the 2 lambs will provide new opportunities for children to communicate, move, develop social relationships and practice important daily living skills.
Helping Children Learn Through Animal Interaction
Pediatrics Plus operates a specialized therapy model designed to help children build skills through everyday experiences in natural surroundings. The Farm model combines several types of therapeutic services, including:
- Occupational Therapy (OT): Helping children develop fine motor skills, independence and the ability to participate in daily activities.
- Physical Therapy (PT): Supporting movement, balance, coordination, strength and physical development.
- Speech-Language Therapy (ST): Helping children develop communication and language skills.
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): Using individualized behavioral approaches to support learning, communication and social development.
Through the Farm experience, children have opportunities to participate in activities that connect therapy goals with real-world situations. Activities such as caring for animals, feeding livestock, grooming, gardening and interacting with others can help children practice skills in an engaging environment.
Pediatrics Plus says its mission is to redefine therapy through play and purpose.
Cabot Farm Part of Growing Pediatrics Plus Network
Founded in 2002, Pediatrics Plus is a specialized pediatric healthcare provider offering services designed to help children learn, develop and gain independence. The organization operates traditional therapy facilities, developmental preschools and Farm locations.
At the Cabot Farm, located at 3350 West Main Street in Cabot, therapy services are combined with opportunities for children to experience outdoor activities and learn through interaction with their surroundings. The naming contest is being conducted through Facebook, rather than through an in-person event.
Pediatrics Plus has received several recognitions, including being named among Newsweek’s 2026 Greatest Midsize Workplaces in Healthcare. The organization was also recognized in AY Magazine’s 2026 Best Of awards, and additional educational performance honors have been awarded to Pediatrics Plus locations by the University of Arkansas Office for Education Policy.
A Chance for the Community to Be Part of the Story
The arrival of the 2 lambs gives residents an opportunity to participate in the growing Pediatrics Plus Farm family.
Whether the winning names are funny, creative, sweet or inspired by the animals themselves, the organization hopes the community will help select names that fit its newest residents.
Pediatrics Plus is encouraging families, animal lovers and community members throughout Cabot, Lonoke County and Central Arkansas to participate. Residents interested in submitting name suggestions should visit the official Pediatrics Plus Facebook page before the November 18 deadline.
