Admissions
A place where every student belongs
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your child, and we're honored you're considering LINKS. We believe every student deserves an environment where they are understood, supported and empowered to thrive.
Our admissions philosophy
LINKS offers rolling admissions throughout the school year as space allows. Because we keep class sizes intentionally small and programming individualized, decisions are based on whether our educational model is the right fit for each student.
We serve students with a wide range of neurodiverse learning profiles, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, anxiety and a variety of genetic disorders. Every application is reviewed holistically, recognizing each child's strengths, interests and support needs.
Our goal is simple: every student who joins LINKS should experience meaningful academic growth, increased independence and genuine belonging.

Frequently asked questions
How much is tuition?
Please contact us to learn more about our programs and fees.
Are you an NPS?
We do not currently have Non Public School certification, but we do have students privately placed at our school by school districts. Contact us for more information.
Do you offer speech and occupational therapy?
Yes. Individual speech and OT therapists travel to our campus and collaborate with our team. Additional fees apply for these services.
Do you offer ABA services?
Yes. We have partnered with ABA LA to provide ABA services at LINKS, with supervision and in-classroom support provided by a BCBA.
Can IEP goals and accommodations be applied at school?
Absolutely. Our smaller school environment lets us individualize learning to meet each student's needs, and evidence-based reading, math, writing and comprehension programs are built into the school day for remediation.
What is your student-to-teacher ratio?
Our goal is five students to one teacher, with classroom aides supporting as needed. As we grow, we will continue to add staff.
Do you administer academic assessments?
Yes. We administer WIAT and WRAT assessments for all of our students to set baseline levels and gauge progress toward goals at the end of the year.
Where can I find the weekly schedule?
The weekly schedule is on our About page.
