Legoland Florida Resort in Winter Haven will receive Certified Autism Center status by March 31.
The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards granted Legoland Florida autism certification last year, the park said in a news release. The park’s three onsite hotels and Peppa Pig Theme Park, contained on the Legoland property, are also Certified Autism Centers, the release said.
The IBCCES is the only credentialing organization providing the certification, which includes evidence-based training as well as the perspectives of people with autism, the release said. As part of the certification, all employees will be trained to accommodate any visitors on the autism spectrum or with other sensory disorders.
Specially designed on-site offerings include quiet rooms, sensory guides and low sensory areas, the release said.
Every ride will have a posted sensory guide developed by IBCCES indicating whether there are bright lights, loud sounds, or any features that guests might need to plan around. The park will offer maps marked with low-traffic areas for visitors in need of a low-sensory break area.
