Hello! We're the Islands of Brilliance Team.
It's nice to e-meet! We're a small but mighty team of creative thinkers, special educators, artists, occupational therapists, doodlers…just to name a few. But we all have one thing in common – we are honored to be able to support neurodivergent students and their families.
