Theme parks have been growing more and more inclusive. Sesame Place in Pennsylvania became the first theme park in the world designated as a Certified Autism Center in 2018, and now waterparks are following suit.
Aquatica Orlando in Florida is now the world’s first autism-certified waterpark. The autism certification was awarded after a collaboration with the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards to have all staff properly trained in autism sensitivity, awareness, communication, and motor skills.
