Intellectual Disability Program Consulting Firms in California 

“Praxes Behavioral Health was highly recommended to support Hanna Center as a consultant in developing our Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) Plan of Operations and Program Statement. This project required meticulous detail outlining every operational component and therapeutic service essential to meeting rigorous regulatory standards.

Dan’s expertise was invaluable. He guided our team through defining daily operations, admissions processes, staffing requirements, health and safety protocols, and therapeutic and life skills programming. His contributions ensured both documents upheld the highest resident care and compliance standards. Dan’s consistent support and dedication were instrumental in moving this project forward efficiently; without him, we would have faced significant delays. Praxes Behavioral Health’s role in this process was indispensable to Hanna Center's success.”
