Chicago, IL – February 27, 2025 – Thinkspace is proud to announce that its Hushoffice pods, including the hushFree line, have been awarded the Certified Autism Resource (CAR) Certification by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). This prestigious certification recognizes products that meet the needs of individuals with autism and other sensory sensitivities—solidifying Thinkspace’s commitment to creating inclusive, accessible workspaces.
A Commitment to Neuroinclusive Design
As workplaces evolve, so does the need for environments that support all employees. The CAR certification sets Thinkspace’s pods apart as a trusted solution for neurodivergent individuals, providing quiet, private spaces that reduce distractions and improve focus. The hushFree line has been thoughtfully designed to minimize sensory overload, offering superior sound insulation and adjustable lighting to create a more comfortable and adaptable work environment.
“Workspaces should work for everyone. Having our pods certified as an autism resource is an exciting step in making offices more inclusive and supportive for all employees,” said Anjul Chandi, Principal, CEO at Thinkspace. “Neurodiversity brings so much value to the workplace, and we’re proud to offer solutions that help people focus, feel comfortable, and do their best work.”
Why This Matters
The CAR certification is awarded to products and services that meet rigorous standards for sensory inclusivity. Employees on the autism spectrum often face challenges in traditional office settings—excessive noise, harsh lighting, and constant activity can lead to stress and reduced productivity. Hushoffice pods help address these challenges, offering a sanctuary for focus, collaboration, and well-being.
By integrating CAR-certified pods, companies can take meaningful steps toward creating truly inclusive workplaces, empowering neurodivergent employees to thrive and contribute their unique strengths.
