The Light House’s journey began with one student and a dedicated group of individuals determined to educate and prepare students for life. Founder Kathy Greene opened The Light House in 1992 as a private special education school because she, as well as parents, therapists and educators, recognized the importance of a community-based program where students of all differences could learn through real life experiences and opportunities. Since its inception, The Light House has continued to grow to offer specialized programs that meet the needs of the community. All programs integrate community access, learning, and independent living, and strive to prepare individuals for the next critical step of their life. Today, The Light Houses has three different campuses that serve over 100 individuals every year and cater to a range of different needs.
