LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY—The Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ) has awarded a full two-year accreditation to Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services for its applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs in Las Vegas, NV.
Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services’ 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,” Veronica Smith, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, chief executive officer of Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services.
Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services provides applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for children ages 2 to 6 and their families through a state-of-the-art, 10,000 square-foot, in-clinic setting. The organization offers both focused and comprehensive treatment models, with individualized programming guided by ongoing data collection.

Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services is committed to maintaining high standards of care through accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
“People with autism deserve high-quality ABA services,” said Erick Dubuque, director of ACQ. “Organizations applying for accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality must meet rigorous standards for patient care, administration, and transparency. Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services underwent a thorough review process to earn its accreditation.”
