A Message From Park Fatkin

Our wild and sweet adventurous Park, is beautifully on the spectrum and isn’t speaking, YET. He was diagnosed at 3.5 as nonverbal autistic. While we were navigating a diagnosis and processing that life is going to look a little different than we thought, we found the Family Learning Center at the Little Light House. We found community, support, and education being a part of the Ladybugs Class in FLC. We’ve seen so much growth in Park already and love getting to see him play and learn with his friends in his class each week. Seeing the collective milestones is so encouraging and moving. It’s truly a gift getting to be a part of a home base like FLC, where the support team loves and builds connection with your children to learn and support their individual needs. It’s not only a safe space for our kids, but a place to land and grow for parents. We’ve learned so much on how to better support Park’s communication and sensory needs and are so thankful to be amongst friends and families who understand as we’re all just doing our best create a thriving fulfilling life for our children despite their challenges. We’re still in such awe that the LLH and FLC exists and that we get to be a part of it. We’re forever grateful to have found the FLC when we did to know we’re not alone, we have strength in support and practice, and a life with ASD can be more beautiful than we thought possible. It’s so special to share Park’s journey and the Family Learning Center at the Little Light House with you. This place radiates goodness and support for families like mine and is the most inclusively happy place for children with special needs. 💛

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.
