IRVINE, Calif.--()--Autism Comprehensive Education Services (ACES), an autism services provider whose clinical model is grounded in proven clinical outcomes, today released its clinical report on monitoring consistency in individualized and dynamic Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) service delivery at scale using validated metrics that guide treatment decisions through the ACES Assessment bundle.

The ACES Center of Excellence (COE) is a time-proven, collective measure of five individual clinical parameters that are weighted and combined into a comprehensive and aligned Center of Excellence Index. This simplified clinical weighting system allows for clinical differentiation, standard quality measurement among ABA clinics and excellence in clinical care.

The new report focuses on the ACES Assessment Bundle, part of the onboarding process that involves a series of assessments, including Person Centered Planning, parent stress, overall satisfaction with care, quality of life and family empowerment. The ACES Assessment Bundle provides clinicians and families access to a comprehensive assessment bundle. Through a proprietary process, ACES clinicians use that comprehensive assessment bundle to uniquely target interventions to inform titration of care decisions that yield the best outcomes for clients and their families.

Ashley Drag, ACES SVP of clinical services and innovation, said, “For the last 18 months, ACES’ Center of Excellence Scorecard has been used as the value-based standard of care by a national payor. A pillar of our COE scorecard, the ACES Assessment Bundle is sensitive to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Core Deficits put forth in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).”

Lisa Dawe, ACES’ chief executive officer, said, “For nearly 28 years, ACES has enhanced the quality of life for individuals and their families impacted with autism and other special needs through our clinically based comprehensive autism therapy and intervention services driven by our clinical quality index. We are proud to share this model with the autism community as we collectively work to meet the growing demand for care.”
