Meow Wolf, the US production company known for its immersive art exhibits, has achieved the designation of Certified Autism Centers for all its installations.
This certification is awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) and aims to enhance the experience for individuals with autism and other neurodivergent traits. Employees at Meow Wolf’s locations in Santa Fe, Las Vegas and Denver have all completed IBCCES training to ensure they are well-equipped to cater to the needs of neurodivergent visitors. The company’s upcoming locations in Dallas and Houston are also set to open as Certified Autism Centers in the summer of 2023 and 2024, respectively.
Many individuals with sensory needs or sensitivities encounter challenges when visiting new places due to potential sensory overload and a lack of staff training and understanding. In the United States, approximately one in six people experience sensory sensitivity, and one in 36 children is diagnosed with autism. Meow Wolf’s commitment to becoming Certified Autism Centers is a step towards creating a more inclusive and accessible environment for all its guests.
