Little Light Pediatric Therapy

We want to share something close to our hearts from Little Light Pediatric Therapy.

Over the years, we have seen a growing need for more support, access, and truly inclusive spaces for children with special needs and their families here in East Texas. Not just in therapy rooms, but in everyday community life.

Out of that awareness, a new nonprofit called Sparrow in the Pines has begun to take shape.

Its focus is simple and deeply needed: supporting families through therapy scholarships, adaptive equipment assistance, and working toward more inclusive spaces where children of all abilities can belong and participate together.

This work comes from years of walking alongside families and seeing where gaps still exist. It is still in the early stages, but the heart behind it is strong and clear.

We are honored to be part of the conversation and to support efforts that align with the families we serve every day.

If this mission resonates with you, we would love for you to follow Sparrow in the Pines on Facebook to stay connected as this grows.

More to come as our story continues to unfold 🩶

Why does this matter to East Texans?

Many families raising children with special needs in East Texas share a common experience. They feel overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure where to turn for support that truly understands their situation.

Navigating therapy, services, equipment, and church and school systems can be complex and exhausting, especially when resources are limited or difficult to access close to home.

At the same time, children can miss opportunities for play and connection that are essential for growth and development.

Sparrow in the Pines exists in response to these gaps.

We believe families should not have to walk this journey alone, and children should have access to spaces and support that reflect their value and potential.

Our hope is to help shift that experience toward one of connection, support, and belonging.

It's hard to remember Little Light without Crystal. It's also hard to believe that it's already been 5 years!!

We are forever blessed by her wisdom, grace, and expertise. ❤️

April is OT month and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than adding an INCREDIBLE new member to our team! You guys, Crystal is a momma who gets it, she loves and knows our ETX community, and is a rock-star OT. You are going to LOVE her!! Welcome aboard, Crystal! 🙌

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes at Little Light.

Conversations, questions, and working together to understand what a child is really telling us through their behavior.

Sometimes that even looks like slowing down, getting in the swing, and using movement to help us think and process together.

Rather than fill our schedules back to back, we intentionally keep blank space for this very thing.

Why? So we can come alongside families and help them understand, too.

When behavior makes sense, things start to feel a whole lot less overwhelming and clarity comes for what to do next. It's our job to put those tools in the toolbox of every parent we see.

You. Guys. Check out that empty storefront!! (And that young chick, holding the keys 😳) Can you believe all God has done in the past 7 years?!? That girl right there had NO idea the journey God would take her on...but she had faith and an insane drive to make it happen.

I spent the first year of business working from the kitchen island, my car, and coffee shops before we were able to open the doors and it was worth every uncomfortable chair and kink in my back. I love our little spot Downtown and I'm unendingly humbled by the families who trust us with the hardest days of their lives. I constantly pray that families notice that it feels different here, from the moment they walk in the door.

If we've impacted your life or if you have a story to share, we would love to hear it. Or pictures! We love seeing pictures of your sweet babies that we've said "see you later" to!

I promise, we haven't forgotten you and we still think about you and your family!

Hey there, Longview! I'm Jenny, owner of Little Light Pediatric Therapy. My husband, son, and I moved back to Longview 6 days ago from Dallas and we are so glad to be back home! 🏡 I've been an occupational therapist for almost 10 years, specializing in pediatrics. Downtown Longview has my heart and I cannot wait to start making a difference in the lives of children here. Local mommas, stay tuned (and tag your friends). I'll be announcing summer camps very soon!

If you were to walk by on a Friday, our doors would be locked, the lights off, and the music quieted.

Today though, things felt a bit different.

It was her day off, but she showed up anyway… preparing for the families she’ll meet next week.

That kind of heart for this work is hard to explain, but you know it when you see it. When you experience it. 🤍

We’re really thankful Hannah is here, showing up and making sure she brings her best to the families she's guiding on their journey.

For so many families, the hardest part is the waiting.

Waiting for answers.
Waiting for support.
Waiting for someone who truly understands their child.

Today, we get to say something really special…
we’re ready for you! You don't have to wait.

Hannah joined our team today and we are over the moon that you no longer have to wait for the expert care your family needs.

More support. More availability. Same heart for walking alongside every family.

You're going to love her, we promise.
We already do 🤍

We are over the moon to be serving alongside Longview Parks and Recreation to make sure every kid in Longview has a great place to play! Can't wait to keep you guys updated on what is to come!!

We’re building something new at Teague Park! Longview Parks and Rec is in the early stages of planning an inclusive playground, and we need input from local families and experts. To help us build the best facility possible, we’re looking to connect with organizations that support residents with physical or developmental disabilities. Please share any contact info or group names in the comments so we can send them our planning survey. Help us make sure every kid in Longview has a great place to play.

Feeding a picky eater is already overwhelming.

Figuring out what to bring to therapy shouldn’t be.

We take care of the planning, prep, and messy work of designing each session so it’s tailored to your child.

You get to show up, be part of the process, and experience the moments that matter.

We're here to help. ❤️

Communication is more than words!

It’s connection, belonging, and making sure every child has access to learn about God in a way that meets them where they are. So thankful to help in even the simplest ways to bring the hope of Jesus to little ones. They belong to Him, after all!

I saw a post today from a mom who was told she couldn’t be in her child’s therapy session.

And honestly… it got me a little fired up.

As both an OT and a mom… no. We’re done with that.

At Little Light, parents aren’t asked to step out. They’re invited in. Every time.

Because a 30-second recap at the end of a session isn’t enough. Real progress happens when parents understand, participate, and feel confident carrying it into everyday life.

You are your child’s best advocate. You know them better than anyone. That matters here.

Therapy should be fun. Always. There can be hard days, yes. But there’s a difference between occasional hard and every single session feeling like a battle.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to ask your therapist to work with you.

Because the best outcomes happen when therapists and families stick together.

And around here… we’re not doing it any other way.

When therapy feels like play, kids are free to try.

For a kiddo who can't stand the feeling of clothes and is only willing to wear one specific pair of shoes....trying on a costume today felt like a huge win!

Sometimes the most meaningful moments in therapy are the simplest ones.

Today while we were working on interception in the body, this sweet kiddo added a heart... and then drew Jesus inside it. (with hair, mind you 😉)

It was a moment that now lives in his momma's heart, for certain. 

Around here we talk a lot about bodies, brains, feelings, and how God designed them. Moments like this remind me that kids often understand things in the most beautiful and honest ways.

Our faith is a quiet but steady part of who we are here. It shapes the way we care for kids, the way we see their worth, and the hope we carry for every family who walks through our doors. 

It was the sweetest reminder of what we know and hope you experience in us...that Jesus is in our hearts, too.
