Creative Programs for Neurodivergent Students
Pioneering the use of art, creativity, and creative technologies to spark self-confidence, encourage independence, and build pathways to employment for neurodivergent individuals.
Islands of Brilliance…a Place to Thrive
By engaging students in a creative project celebrating their interests, we build:
Self-confidence
Self-advocacy
Self-determination
Connection to a vibrant, welcoming community
Building independence changes self-perceptions of ability and expectations of what is possible. At Islands of Brilliance, we witness our students’ brilliance becoming unlocked.
IOB's program offerings are student-centered solutions that provides a mix of opportunities spanning different skill sets, needs, and objectives.
