Light House began with a mother’s vision to create a place where her daughter — and others like her — could feel seen, supported, and valued. What started as a personal mission quickly grew into a vibrant, inclusive community for adults with developmental disabilities.
At Light House, it’s not about filling time — it’s about making every moment meaningful. Each day is filled with friendship, purpose, and the freedom to be yourself. We create experiences that reflect who our participants are, not who they’re expected to be.
Heather
Founder
Heather is the driving force and heart behind Light House. As a proud mother to Zoey, who experiences life with Autism, and a decades long career as an educator, Heather saw firsthand, the gap in services for adults with disabilities. In 2014, driven by the question, “What’s next?” she founded Light House to provide her daughter and others in her community with meaningful opportunities for continued learning, shared experiences, and lasting friendships. Her vision was clear: to create a space where people are not just supported, but celebrated. What began with Heather’s belief that her daughter, and others like her, deserved more than a program, has blossomed into a vibrant community that feels like family.
Kyle
Founder
Cofounder of Light House is Kyle. His unique life experiences and a deep admiration for people who push boundaries inspired him to pursue a career path supporting individuals in our community. After realizing a shared vision he enthusiastically joined Heather in cofounding Light House. Kyle knows people thrive when provided different paths of learning and holds a strong conviction that every individual deserves a stage to confidently be themselves.
