The North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport recently renewed its commitment to ensuring visitors feel welcomed. Staff at the museum completed requirements to renew its Certified Autism Centerâ„¢ designation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards, which required ongoing professional development and training in autism and related needs. Since becoming a Certified Autism Centerâ„¢ (CAC) in 2020, the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport has been actively working to educate and broaden its accessibility and sensory inclusive offerings to better assist autistic individuals and other sensory-sensitive visitors.
