Puyallup, WA, October 2, 2018 (Newswire.com) - BHCOE Accreditation has recognized Behavior Bridges with a Preliminary 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 and staff qualifications and promote systems that enhance these areas. BHCOE Preliminary Accreditation occurs for newer organizations or organizations preparing to meet full accreditation review within a year, prior to a full evaluation. This consists of a high-level review of organizational systems to identify areas for improvement prior to growth.
"Preliminary Accreditation is a great way to ensure that a business is set up for clinical and administrative success once they start serving more patients. I'm thrilled that Behavior Bridges has invested in ensuring quality systems for their growing practice,” said Sara Gershfeld Litvak, Founder of BHCOE. “We are excited to commend Founder and Director Laura O’Rourke, as well as her fantastic team, on creating a program that is a valuable resource to the Washington autism community.”
BHCOE Accreditation and BHCOE Preliminary Accreditation are the only Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)-specific accreditations. Acting as a third-party, the organization systematically measures and reports on existing quality criteria in the behavior analysis community using standardized methods and practices, and accredits only those service agencies that meet these standards.
“At Behavior Bridges, we believe through collaboration and evidence-based teaching, we can help all individuals reach their highest potential,” said Founder and Director Laura O’Rourke, “We are proud to receive the BHCOE Preliminary Accreditation because it is a reflection of our commitment to providing care that helps our clients towards measurable and positive change. We are thankful to each member of our team of compassionate professionals who have made this accreditation and the success of our clients possible. As we grow, Behavior Bridges will continue to provide comprehensive behavior analysis services of the highest quality in Washington for years to come.”
