COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., September 4, 2018 (Newswire.com) - BHCOE Accreditation has recognized Aveanna Healthcare, Colorado ABA with a 2-Year Accreditation, acknowledging the organization as a behavioral service provider dedicated to continuous improvement in Applied Behavior Analysis. BHCOE Accreditation recognizes behavioral health providers that excel in the areas of clinical quality, staff qualifications, and consumer satisfaction and promote systems that enhance these areas. These areas are measured via a wide-ranging audit, including interviews with agency clinical leadership, in-depth on-site observation, a detailed staff qualification review, anonymous staff satisfaction survey, and anonymous consumer satisfaction survey.
“Aveanna is clearly a provider that is dedicated to clinical integrity as evidenced by their highly-qualified staff and exemplary prioritization of collaboration. Their commitment to creating programs that are both individualized and effective is apparent and helps to elevate the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA),” said Sara Gershfeld Litvak, Founder of BHCOE. “We are proud to commend the Executive Director of ABA Therapy, Kim Watts, and her passionate team of professionals, led companywide by Sr. Vice President Kathleen Stengel on creating a program that is a valuable resource to Colorado families impacted by behavior disorders.”
