A Message From Judd Jackson

Judd was born at 32 weeks gestation and we were told by the doctors that they suspected Judd had Trisomy 21 and that they would do a blood test to confirm. He spent a month in NICU learning to regulate his temperature and drinking from a bottle. We had many scares in that journey including being told he was going into heart failure, which thankfully turned out incorrectly. We had to follow up with so many specialist after birth and a beautiful woman who did a echo cardiogram told us about a school, Little Light House, that we should check out. We made an appointment to view the school and was completely blown away with the benefits they had to offer. At 2 years old we got the call that his time was up and he could start school. Before he started school, he didn't talk or babble much, he didn't walk, couldn't chew and his coordination wasn't where is should be. Just a year attending Little Light House, he was a whole different child. His teachers, there therapist and all the support staff make you feel like you are part of this gigantic community filled with nothing but love and support the entire way. Judd laughs, jumps, walks, chews and dances and all of it is from the hard work and guidance from the school.

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.
