Serving all Individuals with
Disabilities and their Families
in Northern Nevada
Advocacy
Our knowledgeable teams are passionate and caring individuals who will attend meetings with you and your family. They will help teach and guide you through what your available options are, to achieve the best possible outcome. (Note: We are not lawyers nor do we intend on taking the place of legal advice. We are parents trying to help other parents attain the best outcomes for their children.)
Education
We have a variety of educators as well as community partners, bringing you a wide range subjects that matter to you. Our free trainings will equip you with the tools necessary to navigate life for you and your family.
If you would like to have one of our advocates assist you and your family, free of charge, please fill out our Family Questionnaire and one of our Family Specialists will get back to you.

Pacer Puppets
Bridgelink performs Pacer Puppet shows in local schools. Each puppet has a specific personality and physical characteristics—the multicultural cast represents children of all backgrounds and abilities. Using an engaging, child-friendly approach, trained volunteers present a message-filled show that is creative and fun, while dealing with sensitive subjects in a realistic way. Through the puppet show and discussion, the puppets educate, entertain, and inspire.
If you would like to book a Pacer Puppet show for your school or organization please contact Bridgelink and we can get you scheduled. The Pacer Puppet shows are recommended for grades first through fourth.
Lending Library
We have a working relationship with CARE Chest of Nevada who helps us get Durable Medical Equipment and Supplies into the hands of people who need them. Through our partnership, there is no financial obligation or restrictions. Anyone that has special needs qualifies for services.
Community
We work with our communities and their resources to help our families find what they need. From computers to therapies, we will do our best to assist you in any way we can.
