We're a Central Florida team. We know the districts, the schools, and the people — and we're always a call away.
For over a decade, our mission at TheraLinks has been to place highly qualified independent related service providers — OT, PT, COTA, PTA, SLP, D/HH, TVI and others — into positions of need within local school districts throughout Central Florida.
If you're an OT, PT, COTA, PTA, SLP, or Teacher of the Deaf and are interested in a position working with pediatrics in a school-based environment, don't take another position before contacting TheraLinks.
TheraLinks was co-founded in 2011 by Jason Sanders, who serves as Managing Director. Jason's connection to therapy runs deep — his mother is an Occupational Therapist, and it was through her that he first developed an appreciation for the field. He went on to learn the healthcare staffing business firsthand at a national firm, where he quickly recognized both the opportunity and the gap: large companies couldn't offer the focused, personal service that local therapists and school districts deserved.
That insight led Jason to launch TheraLinks with a clear mission — to be a genuinely better option. By keeping the business local, lean, and specialized, TheraLinks is able to bill school systems at highly competitive rates while simultaneously ensuring contractors are among the best-compensated in their fields. Efficiencies that national companies simply can't match allow us to pass real savings along to everyone we work with.
The result: therapists who stay year after year, districts that keep calling back, and a reputation built on trust over more than a decade of placements throughout Central Florida.
At TheraLinks, we take a relationship-first approach to staffing. We don't just match credentials to job codes — we take the time to understand what you're looking for in a placement: district culture, travel distance, caseload type, and long-term goals.
Our process is simple:
Based on experience. Annual figures reflect a typical 190-day school-year calendar (7.75 hrs/day × 190 days = 1,472.5 max hours).
*Annual figures based on max 1,472.5 hours. Rates vary based on experience and assignment.
