iSocial

A mission-focused company

About us

iSocial is centered on the neurodiverse individuals we support.

We know that every person with autism has potential.
We also know that no single solution is right for everyone.

The foundation for our team was created at the Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders at the University of Missouri in Columbia. After eight years of research and development and seventeen successful independent university studies with 1,000 subjects, the social skills development program, iSocial, was introduced to the public. As expected, school-aged children with autism benefited greatly.

An adult version of the social skills program was developed as well as workshops centered on Professional Communications and Leadership Skills (PCLS) and Life Skills.

Both curricula are supported by weekly social groups.

About our logo—a vision for progress

We had three images in mind when designing the iSocial logo:

Inclusion—iSocial is the “I” in DEIA—neurodistinct inclusion. Social and leadership skills provide the essential foundation for successful advancement.
Velocity—momentum in the lives of iSocial participants and also the speed of change that iSocial and its partners are driving the community forward.
Power—iSocial's powerful mission statement: iSocial is resolved to radically improving the lives of the neurodistinct.

For iSocial's brand identity, we wanted an image that incorporates all three of these elements. Power and velocity are conveyed with a racing “S” from the iSocial name, and the dotted “i” figure above the “S” represents iSocial's mission of inclusion.
