Grant Manager

The Role: Grant Manager

The Team

We offer a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to empowering children and young adults with developmental disabilities. From autism and ADHD to learning and mood-related differences, we provide a full spectrum of therapeutic, behavioral, and support services, all under one roof.

Founded with the mindset that every child deserves to explore their full potential, LLK's evidence-based model brings together applied behavioral analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, speech therapy, art therapy, music therapy, feeding therapy, social connection groups, technology-enabled programs, and more. By integrating these services, we create streamlined, inclusive programs that reduce travel for families and increase synergy between therapists and caregivers.

The Impact

Impact is measured not just in numbers but in confidence gained, milestones reached, and futures transformed.

Every program we design is built around one purpose: to help every child discover what's possible. Through our integrated therapies we have seen measurable improvements in communication, behavior regulation, life skills, and emotional well-being.

Our impact extends beyond the children we serve. It touches families, caregivers, educators, and the broader community. By nurturing potential early and holistically, we're not just changing one life at a time; we're reshaping what inclusion and empowerment can look like.
