Islands of Brilliance utilizes project-based learning which allows students to grow their intrinsic capabilities and practice communication, increasing their likelihood of independence as adults. IOB design workshops create a space for students to explore creativity through the use of technology, during which they learn technical skills and grow confidence in critical social and peer-to-peer interactions.
The Autism Acceptance Music Festival was created to bring awareness to Autism Acceptance with the goal of raising funds to allow children, teens and young adults to participate in programs such as Islands of Brilliance.
