A Message From Gavin Harvey

When Gavin was diagnosed with autism at 2.5 years old, we were overwhelmed and felt like we were in the trenches trying to decide how to best set him up for success. A dear friend of mine had been referred to the "Early Intervention" program (now the Family Learning Center) at Little Light House. We started the Butterfly Class soon after where we found so much support and resources to help Gavin grow. Being a full time student at LLH seemed like a big dream. When we received the email about the Pilot Autism Class with a spot for Gavin, we were more than thrilled. Since starting at LLH full time, Gavin has become more independent, uses his AAC more efficiently, and has even learned to ride a tricycle. He's trying new things, doing arts and crafts, and continuing to break down barriers. I can only dream of what the next 1.5 years may bring for our boy. He receives all of these services at LLH tuition free because of donations from people like you. Even a small donation makes a difference! Please consider helping Gavin reach his fundraising goal for Mini Laps this year! If you'd rather outside of this platform, feel free to reach out to Shelby for her Venmo or Cashapp.

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.
