Good Behavior Beginnings Earns Behavior Health Center Excellence Distinction
Anchorage, Alaska (PRWEB) June 07, 2016 -- Good Behavior Beginnings (GBB), a behavioral service agency, today announced the organization received a Distinguished Award from the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE). The award celebrates exceptional special needs 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, an anonymous staff satisfaction survey, and an anonymous consumer satisfaction survey.
“Good Behavior Beginnings is an exemplary model of a program that strictly adheres to the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and ethically services a remote and rural population of individuals with autism, intellectual disabilities, and/or developmental disabilities,” said Sara Gershfeld, Founder of BHCOE. “A Center of Excellence adopts and implements quality standards that promote thriving futures for their consumers. There are only a handful of companies that have achieved this level of distinction nationwide and we are very pleased to add GBB to this celebrated group.”
BHCOE is a trusted source for recognizing top-performing behavioral health providers. 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 awards only those service agencies that meet elite standards.
“At Good Behavior Beginnings, we have worked diligently to develop a team of professionals, comprised of highly trained Board Certified Behavior Analysts, to foster development through proven ABA programs empirically validated by research,” said Rachel L. White, PhD, BCBA-D, Clinical Director and Owner of GBB. “We pride ourselves on the quality of services, access to care, and employee satisfaction. We are so pleased that BHCOE has awarded us this distinction.”
