Within Reach - Center for Autism Receives Behavioral Health Center of Excellence Accreditation

New Orleans Autism Treatment Center Named as Top National Behavioral Service Provider

The Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) has recognized Within Reach with a 1-Year Accreditation, acknowledging the organization as a top behavioral service provider in the country. The BHCOE Accreditation recognizes exceptional behavioral health providers that excel in the areas of clinical quality, staff satisfaction and qualifications, and consumer satisfaction. These areas are measured via a wide-ranging audit, including interviews with agency clinical leadership, a detailed staff qualification review, anonymous staff satisfaction survey, and anonymous consumer satisfaction survey. 

“Within Reach is a wonderful example of dedication to high-quality care,” said Sara Gershfeld Litvak, Founder of BHCOE. “They clearly strive for clinical excellence while utilizing current best practices in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and are dedicated to the clients they serve. We are excited to congratulate Director Emily Bellaci and her fantastic team on running a program that is truly an incredible resource for the New Orleans Metro Area community and beyond.”
