A Message From Asher Howison

Hello! We are excited to help raise funds for the Little Light House! Asher goes to their Family Learning Center once a week. This program gives families a chance to experience what the school offers on a small scale while on the wait list. Asher has Down syndrome, a (now repaired) heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot w/ an Atrioventricular Septum Defect, a (now repaired) cleft palate, conductive hearing loss, and nystagnus (eye condition). Between having DS and spending over 6 months in the hospital in his first year of life, Asher struggles with gross motor skills and absolutely refuses to sit up (he's stubborn). LLH provides a much needed service to kids with special needs and they do a fantastic job. They help supplement Asher's therapies by having their own speech, physical, and occupational therapists that spend time with each kid during class. The teachers are absolutely amazing. Everyone at LLH loves what they do and it shows in all aspects. If you made it to the end of this message, I thank you and I hope you have gained a small understanding of how important the Little Light House is to the families and kids who go there. 💙💛

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.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS
