PADI and IBCCES: Helping Your Dive Center Increase Revenue By Serving The Special Needs Market
Research has shown that water is the number one affinity for autistic individuals, and when these individuals engage in stimulating activities such as diving, swimming, outdoor play, and interaction with animals there is a high therapeutic value. In fact, families from all over the globe travel to IBCCES Certified Autism Centers™ just for the interaction with water.
Organizations across the globe claim to be “Autism friendly” but are not equipped to truly accommodate these guests. This has left families disappointed due to a lack of trained and aware staff. As a result, destinations and other organizations have little to no credibility in this ever-growing market. The IBCCES Certified Autism Center (CAC) certification recognizes organizations that have highly trained staff and are fully equipped to serve the fastest-growing population of developmental disorders.
