BY LLH STAFF
At the beginning of July, Little Light House
Occupational Therapist, Jodi Howe and Little Light
House alumni student, Connor spent an afternoon
climbing at Climb Tulsa. Little Light House has been
partnering with Climb Tulsa to pilot a program
that explores new ways to make climbing more
accessible and for individuals with special needs and
physical differences. 
Climbing is an ideal form of physical therapy for
children and adults with special needs, with many
neurodevelopmental benefits as well. For Connor,
climbing helps strengthen his muscles and improve his
overall coordination and dexterity. He did an amazing
job coordinating his hands and feet to reach the rocks
and move his way up the wall. Plus, it is a great way
to burn off some energy and challenge himself while
having fun with his dad and Mrs. Jodi.
Little Light House loves seeing our students, both
current and alumni, reach new heights. We also love
partnering with local organization to make Tulsa more
accessible for people with different abilities.
