Behavioral Health Center of Excellence Awards Distinction to Clarity Service Group
TREVOSE, PA (PRWEB) December 01, 2015 -- The Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) today announced that the organization has awarded Clarity Service Group, a behavioral service agency based in Pennsylvania, with a Distinguished Award. 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, detailed staff qualification review, an anonymous staff satisfaction survey, and an anonymous consumer satisfaction survey.
“Clarity is a remarkable model of an exemplary Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program that serves to build skills and maximize independence, autonomy, and each child's own potential,” said Sara Gershfeld, Founder of BHCOE. “A Center of Excellence is able to adopt and implement 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 Clarity 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.
“We’re so proud that BHCOE has recognized dedication as a behavioral agency and awarded us this distinction,” Kathleen Bailey Stengel, CEO and Board Certified Behavior Analyst of Clarity. “At Clarity, we have made it our mission to provide children with the skills necessary to maximize their potential. We have achieved this through implementing the most effective empirically driven best practices in the fields of education and ABA.”
