Why Autism Training + Certification is Important

Autistic Individuals are 8 times more likely to visit an ED or Urgent Care, yet most clinicians and medical professionals receive very little autism-specific training. Autistic individuals react differently to sensory experiences and input, communication, pain, and anesthesia, among other impacts, with a wide variety of experiences amongst these individuals. Your team can improve the patient experience as well as clinical effectiveness and efficiency with professional training and certification through IBCCES.

How It Works

    IBCCES provides position-specific training and certification for clinicians, nurses, therapists, allied health staff, and clerical staff in a hospital setting. These programs are evidence-based and include feedback from autistic individuals to ensure a well-rounded approach to supplement the expertise of professionals in a healthcare setting.  Certification also includes an onsite review with recommendations on how to make small changes in process or the physical space to make a more positive experience for all patients. (onsite review depends on the size of the organization)
