General CEU: Behind the Badge: What It Really Takes to Get Accredited in ABA

Accreditation in ABA — most prominently through the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) — represents a voluntary, external validation of an organization's clinical quality, operational systems, and ethical standards. For the ABA field, which lacks the universal accreditation infrastructure that structures other healthcare disciplines, these credentialing programs have taken on increasing importance as a market signal of quality and as a framework for organizational improvement.
