“The JDS experience has been truly beneficial for Conor. Last year as an intern he worked directly with Diane and she took the time with Conor to get to know him and his strengths. The fact that she “depends” on Conor has had a huge impact on his confidence. We all want to be needed… and competent. This summer when Diane introduced him as a “staff” member really boosted his self-esteem. As to the program ( I really don’t know what its title is) Conor has learned a tremendous amount in a short amount of time. The time Scott spends with all the participants is amazing and worthwhile. I hope that this experience will lead to a future career in the business. I am thankful for Scott & Diane of JDS to develop such a high level of technology training that is immediately relevant to the job world of today.” Read more “”

“My grandson has been attending JDS Creative Academy for 2.5 years now. He is learning all aspects of their very comprehensive video production program. Although he loves editing the best, he is excited when they go on location and interview for stories of interest. Interviewing skills and script writing are just some of the basics… this unique program is teaching. This is real job training for the often overlooked Autistic adult. I am so proud of him as I see so many positive changes. I am so thankful for JDS Creative Academy.” Read more “”
