Certified Autism Center™ and lab sensory sensitivity program 

The laboratory department and child life department at Dayton Children's Hospital worked in collaboration to become the first of its kind to  earn the Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation, granted by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). This designation means that the lab and child life teams had to complete a rigorous training and certification program to help them better assist autistic patients or those with other sensory sensitivities. The CAC certification also includes an onsite review to provide support and guidance to accommodate patients with sensory needs. Click here to learn more.
