Visit Salt Lake is now a Certified Autism Center
Visit Salt Lake has recently been accredited as a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) by IBBCES. A CAC is an organization where at least 80% of its staff is highly trained, fully equipped, and certified in the field of autism. Evan Bauerle from Sports Salt Lake stated, “As a parent of a child with Autism, having Visit Salt Lake become a Certified Autism Center was the first step in creating an inclusive environment for locals and incoming visitors with neurodiverse family members. The sad truth is that autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals have limited destinations with accessible spaces and services that can provide a comfortable experience. By deepening our team’s knowledge around sensory challenges, we can better equip ourselves to foster a community where every individual, regardless of their differences, can look forward to visiting our sensory-friendly city.”

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
