About Praising Hands

How We Started

Our owner, Sandra Lloyd started out as a direct care provider for two clients. Shortly thereafter, she felt the need to do more. Sandra wanted to give more of herself and reach out to families and the community. Hence the birth of our organization in 2008.


Since its early years, our organization has provided a full spectrum of services to children, adolescents, and adults. Today, we offer a number of developmental, behavioral, cognitive, rehabilitative, and recovery programs. The goal of these programs is to provide the life-long support necessary to ensure that individuals and their families are able to achieve their full potential and improve the quality of their lives.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide creative opportunities and support to people with mental health disorders, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse issues. We are dedicated to providing quality care, individualized treatment, and person-centered services to mentally and developmentally challenged individuals.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to provide person-centered services based on consumer choice whenever possible. It is our privilege to assist individuals in having a quality of life that is no less than our own.


Praising Hands LLC believes in adding support as needed and discouraging dependence on the system. Person-centered plans are developed by the person with the disability as the principal architect and are based on their individual needs. The plan’s focus is on strengths, capacities, and abilities.
