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.
