About us

ABOUT KIDLINKS KidLinks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides healing, hope and happiness for children and families through therapeutic music entertainment and music therapy programs and resources. For almost four decades, impacting more than 410,000 children and caregivers, KidLinks has provided healing experiences for children with special needs through performing arts and media, therapeutic music initiatives, university-level music therapy training and free/low cost treatment programs. The importance of generous past support of donors and granting organizations in meeting the unique challenges of today cannot be underscored. When COVID-19 brought in-person hospital visits and music therapy sessions to a halt, KidLinks was able to quickly adapt and transform our direct services into virtual offerings, including Telehealth music therapy, “at-home” live streaming, virtual therapeutic music performances, and engaging media designed to build social-emotional learning skills. KidLinks remains committed to meeting the needs of hospitalized and homebound children, and providing safe and fun digital experiences for families and caregivers. For more information, please visit www.KidLinks.org, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

    🎃 Halloween is just around the corner! Our music therapist Gina created the fun song "BOO, La, La, La," which is a spooky take on the original KidLinks classic, "Oo, La, La, La." This song can be used in sessions to help improve receptive and expressive language skills by identifying pictures related to Halloween. It also allows kids to identify colors, vocalize all the spooky sounds, and answer questions about what they see. 👻 🦇 Try it out at your next session or with your kiddo at home! #halloween
