Our Mission

K&L C.A.R.E., Inc. was founded by Dr. Leonid Gimelfarb and Alex Kopilevich, M.A. With 40 years of combined experience, they aim to provide a positive impact on the individuals and families they encounter.  Both have spent the past two decades studying Autism and related disorders in an effort to find the best solution for the needs of each family they touch.  Providing creativity and ingenuity while incorporating the traditional ABA/DTT concepts of Dr. Lovaas, both have found a nearly 50% percent recovery rate among children with Autism who participated in related programs such as provided at K&L C.A.R.E., Inc.

K&L C.A.R.E., Inc. is committed to providing services for families with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and any related Pervasive Developmental Disorders.

Our goal is to deliver effective services to children and their parents, which facilitate desired progress and provide parents with necessary skills in order to confidently manage challenges they may encounter when dealing with symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Staff includes individuals who speak Spanish, Chinese, Armenian, Farsi, Hebrew, and Russian. K&L C.A.R.E., Inc. is a member of the California Association of Regional Center vendors.

We strongly believe that parents have their voices and these voices must be heard. Here at K&L C.A.R.E., Inc. is “Where Parents Voices are Heard.”

Kelly Gonez serves as President of the Los Angeles Board of Education and proudly represents Board District 6, which encompasses most of the East San Fernando Valley. During that time, she has championed the needs of the most historically underserved students as a Board member. She has authored policies leading to increased services for homeless students and to remove barriers to college for our high-needs students. Kelly has helped to increase investment in early childhood education in Los Angeles Unified and pioneered the expansion of ethnic studies for all students in the District, including as a high school graduation requirement. She has been a voice for increased investment in public education, devoting countless hours to advocating for our State and Federal governments to provide more funding and resources for our public schools.

Kelly grew up in an immigrant family and was the first in her family to attend college; while earning her undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, she worked three jobs, over 50 hours a week, to pay her way through college and support her working family. After she graduated college, she returned to the Northeast San Fernando Valley to be a math and science teacher in LAUSD.

She also previously served as an education policy advisor in President Obama’s administration, where she led initiatives to support English Learners, homeless students, immigrant students, and foster youth, among others. Kelly lives with her husband and two young children in North Hollywood.

Los Angeles Unified School District will provide high quality instruction and a coherent and rigorous curriculum in every classroom to facilitate student learning and achievement.

There are many ways for you to explore careers in Los Angeles County as an intern. Whether you’re a student looking to learn, a veteran of the armed forces, or a college graduate ready to explore a career in government, there’s no better way to start.

An internship with the County of Los Angeles gives you on-the-job training, real-life work experience, and endless career opportunities.

Program Overview

The program’s goal is to place college/university students within County departments as student interns for the completion of specific projects, research, or studies ordered by the Board of Supervisors or developed by a County department. These internships are unpaid and projects are carefully designed to offer each intern a practical and meaningful work experience. Interns normally spend 8-16 hours per week at their internship unless noted differently on the project description.

Who Qualifies?

Junior, senior, or graduate level students who are currently enrolled in good academic standing and will be completing their internships for academic credit at a partnering college/university. Interns must be able to provide their own transportation to and from the internship site. As a general rule, interns are expected to be available at least 8 hours a week.
