Our mission at Link Therapies is to provide exceptional person-centered care and to build and maintain trust in order to empower our clients and their families to achieve their personal goals.
Our Mission
We provide the tools necessary to support our clients in navigating their world and becoming the most independent and happy version of themselves. We believe that it is critical for everyone in the individual’s environment to have a deep understanding of the biological, psychological, and social variables that may impact the individual in any given situation.
Our team will work together, when needed, to provide consistent and comprehensive support. Our clients can receive services from either or both divisions as determined by their treatment team.
Collaboration between professionals working toward clear aims enables improvement (Kilo, 1998).
WHAT WE KNOW: behavior is communication
In too many instances it is up to families to shop around for behavior therapy and speech therapy separately. Once families locate therapists who appear to be a good fit, they begin the assessment process. Next, plans of care are created and the family commits to behavior and speech therapy, only to spend countless hours navigating multiple sets of recommendations or sometimes even conflicting advice. Despite the distinct correlation between behavior and communication, there is often no collaboration between therapists. This results in an inefficient use of time and resources, poor treatment outcomes, and family and therapist frustration. At Link Therapies, we provide collaborative and interdisciplinary speech, language, and behavior therapy services.

“Very happy with all of the speech sessions. Our therapist was always willing to answer and explain any questions I had in a way I could easily understand. She worked with me on the goals we focused on and really listened to my concerns. Most importantly my daughter LOVED seeing and “playing” with her each week.”
