Autism-friendly amenities on the rise at theme parks


An increasing number of travel destinations including theme parks have obtained autism certification from the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards in a bid to accommodate families with members on the autism spectrum. Certification requires 21 hours of sensory awareness training for 80% of staff members who interact with guests followed by an exam and recertification every two years. The organization also provides parks with sensory guides to rate their attractions.
