DUBAI, DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, November 21, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES ) proudly announces that StuDIYo Lab has achieved the Certified Autism CenterTM (CAC ) designation. The CAC designation is awarded to organizations that have committed to providing accessible and inclusive services to autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals. Both the Abu Dhabi and Dubai locations of The StuDIYo Lab have received this certification, underscoring the organization's dedication to accessibility and inclusivity across all its centers.
"From the very beginning, StuDIYo Lab has been committed to creating a safe, creative, and engaging learning environment that is inclusive for all children. We believe that every child, regardless of their abilities, deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity in a space that is welcoming and supportive. Receiving the Certified Autism CenterTM (CAC) designation from IBCCES is a proud moment for us, as it reaffirms our dedication to providing accessible and inclusive services to autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals. This new certification aligns StuDIYo Lab with Dubai's vision of becoming a global leader in accessibility and inclusion.” says Lina Sadek, founder of StuDIYO Lab.
As the UAE's first woodworking and design technology center for children, The StuDIYo Lab offers a unique blend of creativity and hands-on learning. Catering to individuals aged 5 to 99, The StuDIYo Lab specializes in various woodworking and metal casting projects. The center provides enriching experiences through field trips, birthday celebrations, and collaborative projects, with a steadfast commitment to inclusion at the heart of its mission.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in Dubai's broader accessibility agenda, led by the Department of Economy and Tourism, as it works to position the city as the first Certified Autism DestinationTM (CAD) in the Eastern Hemisphere. This designation is awarded to cities and destinations that offer a wide range of CAC-certified public spaces, accommodations, and entertainment options, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for autistic individuals, those with sensory sensitivities, and their families

"It is truly inspiring to see how they have taken this important step to become even more welcoming by becoming a Certified Autism CenterTM. Their commitment is essential in creating inclusive experiences that enrich our society and provide valuable opportunities for all individuals to engage and thrive."
