A Message From Ethan Lewis

When we received Ethan’s diagnosis of Complete Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (completely missing the center portion of his brain that connects both the right and left hemispheres) at 2 months of age we were told he won’t walk, won’t talk, won’t show emotions and will always be dependent of us. That day we also learned about Little Light House and added him to the waiting list. The Bible's definition of “special” includes surpassing what is common or usual; exceptional; distinct among others of a kind. Ethan truly is a special gift from God. Fast forward to today - I am happy to share some goals and milestones that Ethan has met since attending LLH. He is able to walk/run with the assistance of a walker. He shows many emotions - happiness, joy, curiosity, interest and above all LOVE. Confidence has improved 100% Transitions from task to task 100% He can do a full sit up with no assistance. Trying to self feed. Holds his own cup. Can drink from a straw. Drinks thin liquids (water) no need for thickener. Mobility has improved reaches outside of his comfort zone. He has learned to speak a few more words. Understand some sign language and can communicate through a few signs. Engages in his lamp device (communication device). .….much more to come. The Little Light House has played a major role in Ethan’s early intervention. They are helping him with OT, PT, Speech, classroom skills, social skills, acts of daily living, etc. We know that at the LLH he is accepted, he is loved, he is challenged, he is cared for and treated with the most care and respect you can give to a person. If you feel a calling and are able to join us please do by donating today - together we can help Ethan and all students that attend continue to get these services tuition free. Thank you for your consideration and support! "Go Ethan Go"

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.
