Children’s Autism Center Receives Accreditation from Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ)

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, USA, April 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ) has awarded a full two-year accreditation to Children’s Autism Center for its applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs at four locations in Indiana:

• Angola.
• Columbia City.
• Fort Wayne North.
• Fort Wayne South.

These newly accredited locations offer ABA healthcare services to individuals and families impacted by autism. Their programs were evaluated against ACQ’s Applied Behavior Analysis Accreditation Program Standards and Guide.

“People with autism deserve high-quality ABA services,” said Erick Dubuque, director of ACQ. “Organizations applying for accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality must meet rigorous standards for patient care, administration, and transparency. Children’s Autism Center underwent a thorough review process to earn its accreditation.”

ACQ’s review process includes a wide range of business, clinical, and quality improvement activities to promote best practices and evidence-based pathways. The assessment considers clinical observations and satisfaction surveys from patients and staff, leadership interviews, and a desktop review.

"This accreditation is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team, showcasing our relentless pursuit of excellence in every aspect of our operations,” said Jill Forte, chief executive officer of Children’s Autism Center.

Children’s Autism Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by a small group of dedicated parents and staff members who wanted to improve the lives of others. Their passion continues today and defines who they are and what they do.

ACQ continues to accept new applications for its two-year accreditation from organizations offering ABA as a healthcare service to individuals with autism.
