“We are excited to welcome our newest member, Al Emerick,” said Myron Pincomb, Board Chairman of IBCCES. “With Al’s extensive experience and expertise in a wide range of industries, he can help us connect with more organizations and communities to create more accessible and inclusive environments for autistic and sensory sensitive individuals.”

For more than 20 years, IBCCES has been the leader in cognitive disorder training and certification for healthcare, education, and corporate professionals around the globe. IBCCES created programs specifically for the hospitality and recreational organizations such as hotels, theme parks, and other attractions so staff would be more knowledgeable and other accommodations could be offered to this growing, but underserved, part of the community. IBCCES is the only credentialing board offering these types of programs, which include training from subject matter experts and autistic self-advocates, as well as long-term support and continuous learning, onsite reviews, and more.
