How LINKS started
From an educational therapy practice to a school built for neurodiverse learners.
Our history
LINKS began as an educational therapy practice in 2016. After years of hearing the same request from families, we opened our doors on September 6, 2023 with three founding families and a simple idea: our community needed a school built for neurodiverse learners.

Our mission
To provide a nurturing and inclusive educational environment that empowers individuals with neurodiversities to reach their full potential.
We are dedicated to fostering a supportive and holistic learning experience, where each student's unique strengths and needs are recognized and celebrated.
Through personalized education, evidence-based therapies and a collaborative community of educators, therapists and families, we strive to inspire independence, self-confidence and a lifelong love of learning in our students.
Together, we aim to build a brighter future where individuals with autism can thrive, contribute to society and lead fulfilling lives.
