Helping Neurodiverse and IDD adults learn, create, and build confidence in a working studio
Real studio. Real tools. Real creative joy. Really Free.
Island Station Media Literacy provides free, hands-on media literacy and production experiences that support creative confidence, practical workforce development, and personal expression for adults in the IDD and the neurodiverse community.
Participants explore cameras, microphones, green screen, video effects, music production, performance, and storytelling in a supportive real-world studio environment.
Our programs are designed to be welcoming, hands-on, and accessible. Participants do not just watch a demonstration. They step into the studio, try the tools, see themselves on screen, and experience how audio and video production works.
Green Screen Content
With a 24 foot wide green screen, studio lights and sound, we are able to offer many creative opportunities. Participants learn the terminology and the skills needed to succeed in a professional studio environment. From creation to production, in front of, or behind the camera, our participants express themselves in new ways.
Audio Production
With studio quality equipment, skilled engineers, and vocal booths participants experience what it takes to record and produce sounds of all kinds. Including, but not limited to, music, podcasts, voice-over, or Foley. Learning software, gear, and terminology leads to better chances of success.
Stop Motion and Photography
Learning camera terms and techniques helps our participants find and express their vision. Product photography, miniatures, stop-motion, fashion, and promotional shots are all examples of photographic methods in a professional studio.
“Our son gained so much confidence while learning important skills.”
