Mission
Provide young adults on the autism spectrum with training in the field of digital arts.
Programs
2 programs
Part-time skills and vocational programs students take part in after school and saturday programs to learn niche skills related to the animation and visual effects career paths. Students are also provided one on one tutoring to develop specific skills needed to advance in the program. Progarm also includes a six-week summer program where teens and adults with autism spectrum disorder acquire skills needed to become animators and media artists.
Studio programs graduates of the full-time program use skills acquired at exceptional minds to generate program revenue from paid client projects, typically major motion pictures and televisions shows. Graduate artists also receive additional support and training from their supervisors and exceptional minds staff with the aim to eventual placement in outside employment.
