It is our goal to measure factors related to excellence in the field of ABA. The Center of Excellence distinction indicates that a provider can adopt and implement quality standards that promote thriving outcomes for their clients.
Regardless of a provider’s size, clinical scope, or budget, these standards can be applied to the specifics of any organization to become a Center of Excellence. The core tenets of a Behavioral Health Center of Excellence include:
Qualified and adequately trained staff

In June 2020, Cayman ABA was awarded a 3-year accreditation, which is the highest level of accreditation possible. A summary of our results are quoted below:
“Overall, the results indicated that this organization operates a quality program that is ready to grow and scale ethically. Specifically, the clinical interview revealed strengths in treatment program and planning and ethics. These strengths are in line with the findings of the staff survey and caregiver survey which indicate that caregivers report 91% satisfaction with scheduling, while employees report 93% satisfaction with scheduling. It is noted that higher levels of satisfaction with scheduling in both employees and parents yield better treatment outcomes. Employees who are happy with their work schedule are more likely to show up to work on time, call-out of work less, and thus provide consistent treatment to the patients served. Parents who are satisfied with their child’s treatment schedule are less likely to miss appointments, participate in their child’s treatment, both of which positively impacts the child’s response to therapy.
