Appleseeds Behavioral Center Receives Accreditation from Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ)

LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ) has awarded a full two-year accreditation to Appleseeds Behavioral Center for its applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs in Georgia.

Appleseeds Behavioral Center’s programs were evaluated against ACQ’s Applied Behavior Analysis Accreditation Program Standards and Guide.

“We believe that accreditation is not just a milestone but a reaffirmation of our organization’s values, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and a culture of excellence,” said Emma Chenoweth, founder and owner of Appleseeds Behavioral Center.

Appleseeds Behavioral Center provides comprehensive ABA services for autistic children and their families across Georgia. Services include clinic-based therapy in play-centered environments as well as in-home and in-school support. Each child receives an individualized treatment plan focused on meaningful, measurable progress in communication, social, and daily living skills. In addition to direct therapy, Appleseeds emphasizes caregiver coaching and collaboration, ensuring families are actively involved and equipped to support their child’s growth outside of sessions. With a commitment to clinical excellence, ongoing staff development, and a values-driven approach, Appleseeds strives to create a supportive community where every child can learn, grow, and achieve long-term success.

“People with autism deserve high-quality ABA services,” said Erick Dubuque, director of standards and quality for ACQ. “Organizations applying for accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality must meet rigorous standards for patient care, administration, and transparency. Appleseeds Behavioral 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.
ACQ continues to accept new applications for its two-year accreditation from organizations offering ABA as a healthcare service to individuals with autism.
