Educators, therapists, and healthcare professionals don’t always receive in-depth training specific to autism and other cognitive disorders throughout their education, which is why autism certification can be so helpful for many professionals.
A Certified Autism Specialist or Autism Certificate credential is meant to help educators and healthcare professionals be better prepared to work with autistic individuals in a variety of ways, in turn making them a resource for the individual, families, and co-workers alike.

Why Urgent Cares are the First Choice for Less Serious Issues
A study conducted in 2015 showed that participants deemed the ED and the way it delivered care as insufficient when it comes to meeting the unique needs of children with ASD.
There are many reasons that urgent care is preferred over the ED for less serious problems or injuries.
The wait time at an urgent care center is usually significantly less when compared to that of an ED. Typically the wait time at urgent care is less than an hour and 80 percent of patients only have to wait for 15 minutes. Compare this to EDs where the average wait time is more than 90 minutes before the patient is taken to a room for initial assessment and over two hours before most patients are discharged.
