Dubai, UAE – The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) proudly announces that Dream League has earned the prestigious Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation. This certification highlights Dream League’s commitment to providing inclusive, adaptive sports programs that create supportive environments for children with autism and other developmental differences.
To achieve the CAC designation, Dream League’s team completed specialized training to better understand and support children on the autism spectrum. This milestone reflects the organization’s dedication to creating accessible, inclusive sports experiences that promote growth, confidence, and community engagement.
“Achieving the Certified Autism Center™ status reaffirms our mission to make sports accessible to every child, regardless of their abilities,” says Mikhail Zubarev, founder and CEO of Dream League. “This certification ensures our coaches and staff are equipped with the tools and knowledge to foster a supportive, empowering space where every child can thrive.”
Dream League offers a range of tailored programs designed to help children with autism develop essential motor, social, and communication skills through structured sports activities. Each program focuses on building confidence, teamwork, and physical fitness in a nurturing environment, guided by trained coaches who understand the unique needs of neurodiverse children.
“Dream League’s commitment to inclusivity is inspiring,” says Myron Pincomb, CEO and board chairman of IBCCES. “By becoming a Certified Autism Center™, Dream League is setting a benchmark for accessible youth sports programs and ensuring that children of all abilities have the opportunity to play, grow, and succeed.”
For over 20 years, IBCCES has been the global leader in cognitive disorder training and certification for healthcare, education, corporate, and hospitality professionals. It remains the only credentialing body providing autism-specific training and certification from subject-matter experts and autistic self-advocates, alongside long-term support and resources.
To further support inclusivity efforts, Dream League will be featured on the IBCCES Accessibility App, which is free to download. This app provides individuals with a variety of disabilities real-time guidance on certified destinations, sensory-friendly spaces, and tailored recommendations. By connecting users to accessible locations worldwide, the app helps ensure seamless, enjoyable experiences for everyone.
IBCCES also provides access to resources such as CertifiedAutismCenter.com and AutismTravel.com, free online tools for families that list certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.
