Sesame Place just announced that it’s to be the world’s first theme park designated as a Certified Autism Centre. The 38-year-old park in Langhorne, PA, will be ready to serve children with autism and their families when it re-opens for the 2018 season on April 28. The park has partnered with International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) to create a safer and more sensory-friendly destination for kids on the spectrum.

OMG, check out the world?s first accessible water park!Although theme parks are naturally a popular place for kids and families, only a few of them do well when it comes to accommodating children with developmental disabilities. For children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), loud noises, flashing lights, busy crowds, and waiting in line can be a lot to handle. Photo: Sesame Place
So, Sesame Place is stepping up to better serve the autistic community, by making sure that team members take ongoing training to understand areas of autism such as sensory sensitivities, motor skills, and communication. The park will have a ride accessibility program to evaluate the physical and mental attributes required to safely ride each ride. There will also be low-sensory area...
