Sharifa Yateem Center for Rehabilitation is proud to announce the renewal of its Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation, demonstrating its ongoing dedication to offering the highest standard of care to autistic individuals by way of staff certification and specialized training. Awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), Sharifa Yateem Center for Rehabilitation first received the designation in 2022.
“Sharifa Yateem Center for Rehabilitation is thrilled to renew its Certified Autism Center™ certification,” says Sharifa Yateem, founder and clinical director of the center. “Certification by recognized bodies like IBCCES instills trust and confidence in our organization’s credibility and reliability. Families and autistic individuals can feel reassured knowing that they are accessing services from an organization that has met established standards.”
Since its initial certification, Sharifa Yateem Center for Rehabilitation has demonstrated its commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive learning experience by providing a sensory-friendly environment with adjustments such as low lights, comfortable seating options, sensory tools for emotional regulation, and noise-canceling headphones. Additionally, the center’s clinical team emphasizes the importance of functional skills that are relevant to students’ daily lives, empowering them to become more independent and capable individuals. By focusing on skills with practical applications in real-world settings, the center prepares students for success beyond the classroom.
“IBCCES is excited to continue our partnership with Sharifa Yateem Center for Rehabilitation,” says Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman. “Their dedication to improving staff knowledge and tools to better serve their autistic clients is commendable. We look forward to further supporting their efforts in the region.”

IBCCES provides evidence-based training and certification programs created in conjunction with clinical experts and autistic individuals in order to provide professionals better understanding of how to communicate and interact with individuals with cognitive differences or sensory needs, industry best practices, and the latest research in these areas.
