Meet Our Founder

As the founder of LAL (Living Above Life), I've dedicated a considerable amount of time to the field of Developmental Disabilities.  Launching this day support program wasn't only the fruition of my professional journey and expertise, but also a response to the evident need for high-quality supported services.

 

With time, it has become increasingly clear that many supporting agencies have lost their connection with consumers, guardians, and families. The misleading belief that "the larger the agency, the better the services" has led to a situation marked by poor communication, alienation of consumers, and inconsistent service delivery.

 

In contrast, our agency's foundation is based on a simple yet essential concept. We consciously maintain a small size to ensure a strong focus on excellent communication with clients and families. Our pride lies in our quality staff training and our approach to gentle teaching support.

 

I am confident that you will appreciate the personalized care and attention your son or daughter will receive from our agency, coupled with the dedication and compassion of our staff.

 

Thank you,
