From the team at Lanai:
“We are so proud to partner with Smart CEU’s Hub to enrich the experience of Recreation Therapists across the country. We founded Lanai Therapies to improve the experience of everyone involved in the world of contract Recreation Therapy. We know that working as a contract Rec. Therapist can be a little daunting. So we started Lanai Therapies to fix all of the pain points that RT’s encounter – from not being trained and feeling lost in the field; to not having a company culture of like-minded therapists to connect and interact with. We wanted to be better; for both the population we serve and the therapists we employ. We know that contract Recreation Therapy isn’t for everyone. But we have made it our mission to change the game and make contract Recreation Therapy an incredible experience for all.”
-Brandon and Dale, Founders, Lanai Therapies, LLC
Not only does Lanai Therapies do things that other companies don’t, they give back to the disability community and are a people-focused company.
