Mission, Vision, and Motto
Advertisement
LiFT is the passionate pursuit of mothers who envisioned an educational program that focused on independent outcomes for their own children with neurodiversity. In 2012, Kim Kuruzovich and Keli Mondello had a vision. Inspired by their daughters, they set out to create an inclusive and accepting environment where children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays and other learning differences would be free from rejection and exclusion, so they would have the peace to learn and grow.
As a recognized leader in the landscape of inclusive and special education, LiFT is committed to providing exceptional and equal opportunities in school, employment and life experiences for all. However, the vision doesn’t stop there. LiFT’s founders, as well as the Board of Directors, aspire to provide a residential component for the adult LiFT learners. Just as everyone deserves a sense of community and fellowship, so too, do those with neurodiversity. Our dream is to create and provide a safe community offering supportive independent services, transportation, employment assistance, and opportunities for socializing and long-term friendships.
LiFT TODAY
Today, LiFT boasts an enrollment of 140(+) students and three educational programs: • LiFT Academy serves K- 12th grade. • LiFT University Transition Program is a four-year post-secondary program for students who have completed high school, but desire continued academics, career readiness, and intensive life skill training. • LiFT Adult Day program offers continued learning and employment skills while promoting social enterprise.
