Organizational Processes
Continuously growing in a positive direction is one of GHA Autism Supports’ paramount goals. Each year, Quality Management evaluates our basic organizational processes. Findings are reviewed, and changes are made as needed.

- Received positive feedback about our services from annual surveys of parents-guardians, community stakeholders, employees and, most importantly, the individuals we support
- Expanded our network of collaborative community relationships
- Continued to develop our cultural awareness and sensitivity

- Responded to all parent-guardian concerns quickly and resolved every concern in less than 30 days
- Shared information about Autism Spectrum Disorder and our program with others at local, state and international levels
