Chief operating officer Jobs in Anaheim, CA

Overview

Linden Oaks is a nonprofit organization serving more than 200 individuals with exceptional needs annually, through a variety of service lines. The clients served include children from 18 months of age to senior citizens. Established in 1955, Linden Oaks takes pride in its recognition as a leader in special needs services and in its innovative approach to therapeutic programs—with a history spanning 70 years.

Linden Oaks was founded in 1955 by two speech therapists, Dr. Aleen Agranowitz and Gladys Gleason. These women were visionaries who saw a lack of services for individuals with special needs. They responded to this need by opening the door of their homes to children in their community. With a steadfast belief that they would do whatever it takes to unlock an individual's maximum potential, they were committed to an eclectic approach to therapy and a relentless dedication to an interdisciplinary approach to creating a holistic program for each individual they served. Linden Oaks believes that all individuals have a right to live, learn, work, and play in their communities.

From those humble beginnings, Linden Oaks became a multiservice organization serving hundreds of individuals each year through its non-public school, clinical services, and adult day programs in Southern California. Educational services provided by Linden Oaks support students from some 50 school districts within Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties. In addition, Linden Oaks offers therapy services inclusive of speech, occupational, physical therapy, counseling, and behavior analysis to individuals in the community; services which are funded through its three local regional centers and select medical insurance providers. An adult day program now serves individuals 22-45 years of age through a mix of private and regional center funding.
