Carolina Therapy Connection Greenville recertifies as a Certified Autism Center™, continuing its ongoing partnership with IBCCES since 2020
GREENVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The International Board of Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) continues its partnership with Carolina Therapy Connection (CTC) Greenville by renewing the practice’s Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation. CTC became the first CAC in
Greenville when it was originally certified in 2020. To renew their designation, staff completed updated training to enhance their understanding of up-to-date practices, skills, and resources to best support every individual who visits CTC, especially autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals.“Renewing our IBCCES Certified Autism Center™ certification reaffirms our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of care for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. This certification is not just an achievement—it represents our dedication to ongoing education, innovation, and evidence-based practices in autism therapy,” says Cindy Taylor, founder of Carolina Therapy Connection.
“For our community, this renewal solidifies our role as a trusted partner in care for people with autism. We remain committed to breaking down barriers, promoting inclusion, and offering specialized resources that empower individuals with ASD to reach their fullest potential,” Taylor continues. “At Carolina Therapy Connection, we are not just providing therapy—we are changing lives and building brighter futures for the children and families we serve.”
“As a mom of a child with autism, finding the right help can be hard, but Carolina Therapy Connection has made a big difference in our lives. Being a Certified Autism Center™, they know exactly how to help children with autism, and that has made a huge impact on our child,” says a parent of a CTC client. “From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome and supported. The staff is kind, understanding, and always makes sure our child feels comfortable. The therapists create plans that are just right for our child's needs, and they work hard to help our child grow and learn.”
“IBCCES is proud to continue our long-standing partnership with Carolina Therapy Connection Greenville and recertify them as a Certified Autism Center™,” says Myron Pincomb, IBCCES board chairman. “We look forward to seeing the continued impact this training and certification will have on every individual that visits.”

● Interactive Metronome Therapy – A research-based training program that improves timing, rhythm, coordination, attention, and cognitive processing. It is especially beneficial for children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, and motor planning difficulties.
● Private School for Kindergarten – CTC is now a state-approved private school for pre-k and kindergarten in North Carolina, offering a supportive and individualized learning environment tailored to each child’s developmental and educational needs.
● Play Therapy – Now offered as a core component of our mental wellness services, play therapy provides children with a safe, developmentally appropriate way to express emotions, build social skills, and develop healthy coping strategies.
● Parent Support Groups – CTC understands the challenges of parenting a child with additional support needs, so they offer support groups to help families connect, share experiences, and learn from professionals in a compassionate, understanding environment.
● Sensory Gym – The Greenville sensory gym remains the largest in Eastern North Carolina, ensuring children can access an engaging, therapeutic environment.
