In Memory of Blythe Leer (1991-2021)

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our therapists, Blythe Leer. We are forever grateful and blessed for the time Blythe has been a member of the Jacob’s Ladder family. She has made a difference in the lives of so many of our JL families, staff, and community members. Her impact will last with the children she treated through their lifetime. She will be dearly missed by all.

 Jacob’s Ladder is dedicated to continuing the journey Blythe started by setting up a fund in her name to help with pediatric speech therapy. All donations made through our partnership with Paypal made in January 2021 will go towards speech therapy needs for JL families.

“A chance.  A chance to thrive and reach your fullest potential.  Isn’t that what any parent wants for their child?  Especially a child with special needs.”

-Brandi R.

“I don’t think I, as a 33-year-old woman, could do what she has done in just 2 short years of life.  Doctors at Lurie Children’s couldn’t believe the progress she’d made when I updated them by phone.  It wasn’t until she was there, in person, for a checkup that they finally said to me, ‘You weren’t exaggerating!’  I love our therapists!” 
-Sarah P.

“It’s a great feeling, knowing your child matters at Jacob’s Ladder and they aren’t just a client!”

-Kelly P.

“Everyone was very warm and welcoming. The staff is very attentive and the parents were all friendly. That was really great, to be able to see other parents and hear their stories.” 
-Beth J.

“I began to understand the little person that was inside my son. He was finally starting to communicate and we were discovering who he was inside.  Every time we came, we felt like [Jacob’s Ladder] was a safe place where everyone cared about us, and everyone was so friendly! They understood and it felt like we were all going through the same thing.”
-Susanna S.

“They care. And what they’re trying to do is come up with things that will make life better for us and better for [our daughter].”
-Gregg K.
