Training
Autism 101 starts the practice baseline.
Dental teams learn practical communication, sensory, transition, and escalation-prevention patterns before making family-facing claims.

Dentist Claim Control
AutismCertified helps dental teams move from good intent to reviewable family-facing proof. Certification language, badges, and place profiles stay tied to training, visit-planning details, review status, badge approval, and publication eligibility.
Current launch truth
This page is an industry path, not a public claim that any dental practice is already certified. No practice appears in the public directory until review status, badge approval, and publication eligibility support it.
Why dental needs a harder standard
Dental visits can combine bright lights, high-pitched tools, unfamiliar tastes and smells, waiting-room uncertainty, and close physical proximity. A credible autism-friendly path has to prepare the team before the visit and give families useful details before they arrive.
The standard here is operational: documented supports, staff training, truthful public language, and directory details that a parent can actually use.
Training

01
Visit planning
Lighting, sounds, waiting, first-visit pacing, communication preferences, and accommodation boundaries become reviewable details instead of vague promises.
02
Review state
A badge, directory place profile, sticker, or announcement is only appropriate when the linked practice record shows matching review status, badge approval, and publication eligibility.
03
Readiness checks
Staff can explain each appointment step before it happens.
Families can preview sensory triggers, waiting expectations, and visit pacing.
Badge, place profile, and public language wait for training, review, and badge approval.
Starter, Certified, and Advanced have public annual prices on the certification path. Exact public claims must match the active dashboard tier.
A future dental place profile can include visit-planning tips only after review. No unverified practice is shown as certified.
How long does training take?
Autism 101 is the fastest current baseline. Higher-tier timing depends on the modules and review steps actually assigned to the practice.
We already serve autistic patients. Do we still need this?
Possibly. The goal is not to relabel intent; it is to document staff readiness, accommodation boundaries, and visit details so families can decide whether the practice fits their child.
How is this different from IBCCES?
AutismCertified is pursuing nonprofit status and is trying to be more accessible and more honest about launch state. Practices should compare actual live proof, not just marketing claims.
What does the directory place profile include?
Only reviewed practices with final approval should show name, location, certification tier, sensory accommodations, and visit-planning tips that help parents prepare before arrival.
