Heather is the driving force behind the creation of Light House. Most important to her is being a mom of two in a family that includes her daughter Zoey, who experiences life with Autism. She has spent over 10 years as a secondary school Special Education teacher devoted to supporting her students engage in meaningful learning unique to their needs but often found herself asking, what’s next for her students and her own daughter? In 2014, recognizing the lack of innovative services for adults with disabilities Heather decided to be a part of the solution. Her goal? To provide for her daughter and individuals in her community, meaningful and innovative opportunities to engage in continued learning, shared experiences and most importantly, the creation of lasting friendships with peers. With this trailblazing spirit, Heather founded Light House and has never looked back. The common ground she has with found and new friendships she has created with her fellow families has been an added bonus.
