A Message From Gus Hansen

Gus has the BEST smiles and cuddles. He’s the sweetest little guy and has made so much progress. When he was about 15 months old he was diagnosed with Developmental Delay. In the following months he was also diagnosed with hypotonia and sensory processing disorder. We are still trying to find the reason for these things, but Gus isn’t letting that slow him down. In the past year he’s learned to crawl, cruise, and walk ! He sometimes uses voiced words and he also uses LAMP to communicate. We started attending The Little Lighthouse’s Early Intervention program in January 2020. We meet once a week to work on social, sensory, communication, and motor skills. Gus really loves his teacher and his friends in his class. He is on the wait list to attend the regular program. Hopefully he will get in when he is about 4. The Little Lighthouse is free, but it is private and runs on donations. Please consider giving so that more children can attend this excellent program.

In Support of Little Light House

Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for Children with Special Needs from birth to 6 years old. Tulsa’s Little Light House is internationally recognized as providing some of the most individualized special education and therapeutic early intervention services in the world. A trans-disciplinary team approach maximizes a comprehensive knowledge from professionals who work collaboratively to design prescriptive programs for each child and assist every child in reaching their maximum potential. Through a variety of programs and schedules, these services are carried out by highly credentialed teachers, therapists, and specialists who represent decades of pediatric experience. Early Intervention classes are provided as a part-time program where caregivers attend and learn along with their child for two-hour classes once a week. 

Little Light House is tuition-free for families and does not receive government or United Way funding. Support comes from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. In addition, LLH hosts four annual fundraisers each year bringing in about 40% of the $4.2 million dollar operating cost that allows our staff of over 90 members to provide services to over 300 children and families, support nearly a thousand volunteers, and train over 1,000 college and career students each year.

Little Light House believes that all children are a gift from God with the potential to achieve specific milestones to advance their quality of life. We strive for excellence by utilizing a Bible-based curriculum in a fun and loving atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, trans-disciplinary and God-centered approach to education-an approach that joins parents, professionals, and the Holy Spirit as partners in order to nurture the spirit, mind, and body of the children and their families. Our commitment incorporates being called to work/volunteer with children with special needs. Little Light House encourages a positive outlook on the future, based on trust in a loving heavenly Father.
