CliniKids' new online autism seminar – Navigating an Autism Diagnosis: A Parent's Guide to Understanding and Decision-Making – will be held on Thursday, March 13, 5-6pm (AWST).

In this free seminar, Professor Andrew Whitehouse (CliniKids Director and Professor of Autism Research at The Kids Research Institute Australia) will provide parents with a balanced exploration of key considerations when seeking an autism diagnosis for their child.

By examining both the advantages and challenges, the discussion will help parents understand how an autism diagnosis may impact on their child's self-understanding, growth and opportunities. The presentation aims to support parents to make informed decisions that align with their unique family context and their child's individual needs.

💻 Please note, registration for the seminar is necessary to obtain the live webinar link and be involved in the Q&A session. A link of the presentation recording will be provided to those who register.

: EMIRATES TO BECOME FIRST AUTISM CERTIFIED AIRLINE IN THE WORLD

Big news for accessibility in air travel! Emirates is on track to become the first airline in the world to earn Autism Certification from the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).

Over 30,000 Emirates staff, including cabin crew and ground teams, are undergoing specialized training to better support autistic travelers. The program covers sensory triggers, individual needs, and common misconceptions about autism, with the goal of having at least 80% of customer-facing staff fully trained.

Starting in 2025, Emirates will also roll out new services to improve accessibility, such as sensory guides and digital tools to help passengers navigate environments based on sensory factors like sound and lighting. They’ll also introduce neurodiverse-friendly items, such as fidget toys, to make flights more comfortable.

The airline has already made strides, earning Autism Centre Certification for its four Dubai check-in locations, including the hub in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport—following the airport’s own groundbreaking certification in December 2023.

This is a huge step toward making travel more inclusive! 🛫💙
