Carelinks ABA Therapy of Des Moines

My daughter has benefited so much from the compassionate and dedicated staff at Carelinks. They are the only ones truly doing ABA in a compassionate way. I'm so happy I got my daughter signed up before they filled up in the morning hours!! If you're looking for ABA that is legit- call them now. They're so good they can fill up!

CareLinks ABA has been amazing for our children with autism! The therapists(Michaela, Rhea, and Kayla)are patient, kind, and truly care about helping kids grow. We’ve seen so much progress in communication, confidence, and everyday skills. I love that my children have individualized plans. They didn’t just throw all 3 in the same group. They include parents every step of the way and celebrate every success. We’re so grateful for the CareLinks team, they’ve truly changed our children’s lives! Our BCBA(Zola) makes sure that we as parents don’t feel like strangers to the process. She makes sure we are involved and that we learn each child’s behaviors and how to redirect. I enjoy the Parent training sessions. She understands that every child is different. She updates and adds new goals for them and provides us with the skills to reach the goals. I love that people I know and trust get to go to school with all 3 of the children. I knew they’d be safe and happy. We absolutely love our team and consider them family. Thank you Zola, Michaela, Rhea, and Kayla for all that you’ve done and continue to do. Carelinks provided a support that is unmatched in my eyes.❤️💙💛💚

ABA Carelinks has made the world of a difference for my daughter, Madi. The staff are all very involved and the care is truly individualized for each kid. It is a blessing to have the service we do. Taylor our BCBA is amazing! ❤️

I consider our family extremely lucky to have found Carelinks ABA. Our former BCBA left the company we were at and they were unfortunately not able to fill her shoes for several months. We were pretty devastated and scared. If you’re a parent in Iowa you already know the waitlists are usually a minimum of two years. Somehow I found an add for Carelinks on social media. I was able to connect with Sam right away. I appreciated his honest and persistent demeanor. He shared with me some of his story and mission that really drew me in. They offer home and community based services which is very exciting as we felt our son had done all of the work he could “in clinic.” The lead BCBA (Dan) is absolutely brilliant and competent at what he does. You will know the minute you talk with him what a special guy he is and how passionate he is about his role. The RBTs also all have higher education which I felt was very impressive. They are both very upstanding sweet and respectful individuals. They also express loving to work for this agency and how supported they feel. I’m just so impressed and thankful for this company and their team. Thanks guys, this stressed out mom breathes a sigh of relief…

As a BCBA and a parent of a child with autism, I can confidently say that CareLinks is a highly ethical practice. The owners and BCBAs are focused on neurodiversity-affirming practices, child-led sessions, and meaningful goals. The kids have so much fun in assessments and sessions. It’s also really nice to see a great in-home option that will work with family’s schedules whether they meet them in their home, in the community, or even at school if it works with their insurance. Just a really solid program made up of great people.
