Program Coordinator

Islands of Brilliance

Islands of Brilliance (IOB) offers experiential learning workshops focused on art, design, and technology specifically designed for students identified on the autism spectrum. Our project-based learning approach allows our students to grow their intrinsic capabilities and practice communication, learning technical skills and growing confidence in critical social and peer-to-peer interactions along the way. Students are matched one-to-one with mentors—professional and undergraduate students working in art, design, and technology—which not only changes public perception of this disability, it also paves the way for future higher education and employment opportunities, and ultimately long term independence.

Islands of Brilliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
