Since 1953 Link Associates has proudly provided
comprehensive services for persons with mental disabilities
and their families in the Polk county area. In 1953 a group
of parents looking for support for their children who had
mental retardation organized the Polk County Association for
Retarded Children (Citizens). Ever since, this organization
evolved, grew, and in 1992 changed its name to Link
Associates. Today, Link Associates is a not-for-profit
offering support and opportunities to hundreds of our
community neighbors with mental disabilities.
