To further enhance care and support for autistic individuals and their families, Children’s Therapy Network (CTN) has renewed its Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation at its Newbury Park location and achieved the CAC designation for its Ventura location. Awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), organizations receive the CAC when 80% or more of front-facing staff complete autism-specific training and certification to better identify, communicate, and assist autistic patients.

“We are proud to renew our Certified Autism Center designation in Newbury Park and to expand this certification to our Ventura location. This accomplishment reaffirms our dedication to offering specialized, high-quality care for children on the autism spectrum. With this certification, we’re able to reach even more families with the expert, evidence-based therapies they deserve. For us, this represents a continued commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive,” says Cassandra Woods-Pierce, Children’s Therapy Network CEO.

Children’s Therapy Network takes a holistic approach to supporting children with sensory processing disorders. They offer physical, speech, occupational, and early intervention therapies. The team’s certification equips providers with new tools and strategies to enhance their service to all patients.

“We are thrilled to see Children’s Therapy Network’s Newbury location renew its Certified Autism Center™ designation and to welcome the Ventura location as a newly certified center,” says Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman. “These accomplishments reflect CTN’s commitment to enhancing the quality of care for autistic children and their families. We look forward to the positive impact these certifications will have on the communities they serve.”

Since 2001, IBCCES has been the leader in autism, neurodiversity, and cognitive disorder training and certification for healthcare, education, and corporate professionals around the globe. IBCCES created specialized programs for a variety of industries, 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, continuous learning, and more.

IBCCES also created CertifiedAutismCenter.com, a free online resource for parents that lists certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.
