The Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) has awarded Beanstalk Child Psychology with a Distinction, recognising the organisation as a top Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) service provider in Australia. Beanstalk is the first organisation to receive this distinction in Australia. 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.
“In an environment with limited resources to practice Applied Behavior Analysis, Beanstalk nonetheless adheres to best practices in the international Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) community and excels in developing comprehensive and individualized treatment programs. The expertise and experience of Beanstalk’s leadership team both ensures effective care for their clients and allows the organisation to offer the very first Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) training to support professionals seeking a career in ABA,” said Sara Gershfeld Litvak, Founder of BHCOE. “We are thrilled to commend their Director, Susan Petrie, as well as her team on creating an ethical and sustainable program that is an indispensable resource to the South Australian autism community and beyond.”
