Frequently Asked

Questions families ask.

If your question isn't here, please call us — we'd rather answer it directly.

Learning Links serves students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, plus our post-secondary STEPS transition program for young adults. Our student body is approximately 109 students with a 7:1 student-teacher ratio.

Current tuition information is shared during your admissions conversation. Many families use Florida Family Empowerment Scholarships (FES-UA) and other state funding to offset costs.

— Client: please confirm specific tuition figures and which scholarships you accept. Placeholder copy only.

We rely on your child's existing IEP, psychoeducational evaluation, and any therapy reports you can provide. If appropriate, we may ask for a short observation visit so our team can see your child in a classroom setting. We do not require an in-house evaluation to begin the conversation.

Speech, Occupational Therapy, the Alert Program, PE, Martial Arts, and Art are all provided in-house by state-licensed professionals and are integrated into the school day. Specific service minutes are determined by each student's IEP.

We maintain a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio across the school. Our 109 students are supported by 16 classroom teachers plus therapists and specialists. Class groupings are small and intentionally matched by learning profile and developmental level, not strictly by chronological age.

Yes — and we encourage it. Most families visit the campus before beginning any paperwork. Tours are scheduled by appointment so we can give you focused time with the directors and program staff relevant to your child.
