The Association of Child Life Professionals (ACLP), a membership association of more than 6,000 child life specialists, was considering the development of a new, advanced-level credential to complement its existing “flagship” program.

ACLP understood the need to strategically approach the development of a potential new program—carefully weighing the need for an additional layer of assessment at the advanced-level, return on the investment required to develop a quality certification program, and the specific skills that differentiate an advanced-level practitioner.
