NAPERVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Turning Pointe Autism Foundation (TPAF) renewed its Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). IBCCES’ certification program provides comprehensive and up-to-date training for Turning Pointe staff to better understand, assist, and communicate with the individuals with autism they work with.

“As a best practice school, we strive to have the latest evidence-based training and our staff are always willing and excited to continue their learnings,” shares Bernadette Bassett, Compliance Director of Turning Pointe.

Turning Pointe Autism Foundation’s CAC designation opened new doors to secure funding from two grantors. Since becoming a CAC in 2020, the Foundation continues to ensure best practices are implemented throughout its programs which has led to securing accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its Adult Day Pilot. The staff also shared their excitement for the continuous learning opportunities that the Certified Autism Center™ designation offers.

“We are very excited to continue our partnership and support Turning Pointe Autism Foundation work to educate and assist autistic individuals,” said Myron Pincomb, IBCCES Board Chairman.
