Why Autism Training + Certification is Important

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