Even in the highly educated field of healthcare, many practitioners and non-clinical staff have not received updated training specific to autism, or need to constantly complete professional development to ensure up-to-date knowledge on best practices and research.

Earning a specialized autism credential can help providers deepen their knowledge of how to best work with autistic individuals, ensure quality of care and improve patient experience, as well as provide a way to stand out in the community and put patients and their families at ease.

The IBCCES Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) certification recognizes organizations that have highly trained staff and are fully equipped to assist and provide care for autistic individuals or those with other sensory sensitivities.
