HIGH POINT, NC, UNITED STATES, June 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) renews Courtyard by Marriott High Point’s designation as a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC). Staff completed autism-specific training to equip them with an understanding of up-to-date best practices and skills to best welcome and accommodate every guest that visits the hotel, especially autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals and their families.
"We are excited that we are able to be a partner in this important initiative to serve our community, our guests, and visitors to the area. This certification is a refresher that equips us with the knowledge necessary to best serve our guests,” says Amoy Lindo-Coleman, Courtyard by Marriott High Point's general manager.
“IBCCES is proud to renew Courtyard by Marriott High Point’s designation as a Certified Autism Center™, highlighting their efforts to create an inclusive and welcoming stay for High Point visitors,” says Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman. “Renewing their certification shows Courtyard by Marriott High Point’s continual dedication to creating a space where every guest and visitor feels welcome.”
Since becoming a CAC, Courtyard by Marriott High Point now has sensory kits available.
By renewing their CAC designation, Courtyard by Marriott High Point continues to play a role in High Point, North Carolina's designation as a Certified Autism Destination™ (CAD), which was initiated by Visit High Point to welcome more visitors to the area. The CAD designation means visitors have multiple trained and certified options to choose from when in the area, including entertainment, recreation, and lodging.
For more than two decades, IBCCES has been a leader in providing autism, sensory, and neurodiversity training and certification for professionals worldwide, including those in healthcare, education, public safety, travel, and corporate sectors. As the only credentialing board offering these programs, IBCCES provides training from subject matter experts and autistic self-advocates, along with long-term support, continuous learning, onsite reviews, and renewal requirements to ensure continued growth and lasting impact.
To further support inclusivity efforts, Courtyard by Marriott High Point is featured on the IBCCES Accessibility App, which is free to download. This app provides individuals with a variety of disabilities with real-time guidance on certified destinations, sensory-friendly spaces, and tailored recommendations. By connecting users to accessible locations worldwide, the app helps ensure seamless, enjoyable experiences for everyone.
IBCCES also provides access to resources such as CertifiedAutismCenter.com and AutismTravel.com, free online tools for families that list certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.
