History
- LINC was established in the 1970s by Utah State University’s (USU) Center for Persons with Disabilities (CPD) at the request of parents of people with intellectual disabilities in Brigham City UT. The parents wanted a community-based alternative to Utah’s institutional program, the Developmental Center.
- Dr. Richard Baer, CPD Outreach Director, assumed responsibility for the LINC program in 1994.
- In 2003 Dr. Baer spun LINC off from the university and it became a private business continuing to serve people with intellectual disabilities till this day
