At Graham County Rehabilitation Center's Day Program, we prioritize the highest quality of care and support for individuals with developmental disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. To ensure that our program meets the unique needs of individuals with autism, our Day Program Specialists undergo specialized training and certification from the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). This certification signifies our commitment to providing evidence-based, autism-informed care that promotes individual growth, independence, and overall well-being.
Autism Certification by IBCCES:
Our Day Program Specialists undergo rigorous training and certification through IBCCES to acquire specialized knowledge and skills in supporting individuals with autism. This certification process involves comprehensive coursework, assessments, and ongoing professional development. The autism certification equips our specialists with a deep understanding of autism spectrum disorders, evidence-based practices, and effective strategies for communication, behavior management, and sensory sensitivity.
Benefits of Autism Certification:
The autism certification from IBCCES brings numerous benefits to our Day Program Specialists and the individuals they support:
