Service Providers that achieve Creating Excellence Together (CET) Accreditation Level 2 demonstrate that they have gone beyond the minimum requirements of accreditation and are providing an above-average quality service. They are recognized for their innovation and excellence.
CET Accreditation Level 2 incorporates all of the Level 1 standards and indicators, and also includes additional indicators that, while not mandatory for funding or for providing quality of life for individuals accessing service, measures the extra policies and procedures a service provider facilitates to strive for excellence in service to individuals.
To be considered for Accreditation Level 2, all Accreditation Level 1 indicators must be met at the 90% level (as per the Accreditation Level 1 Measurement System). Once there is verification that Accreditation Level 1 has been met, the site-survey report is forwarded to ACDS' Commission on Accreditation for review.
The Accreditation Level 1 portion of the survey is funded by Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD); organizations are billed by ACDS for the Accreditation Level 2 part. Seeking to achieve Accreditation Level 2 in organizational and service excellence is a major undertaking and reflects an organization's drive to be the best that it can be.
