It is the mission of Janus Developmental Services, Inc. to provide individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate and contribute within the community through training, education and the development of social skills. Hidden Talents is a Janus program that provides employment experiences that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Entrepreneurs learn how to create a quality line of gift products, as well as working with business professionals to market and sell their products. Janus Developmental Services, Inc. and the Hidden Talent entrepreneurs are pleased to partner with local area businesses such as the Country Market, The Choosey Pet, Russell Farms and Z-Sky Promotions and Apparel. The beautiful gift items include gourd birdhouses painted in intricate detail, hand crafted walking sticks, pet beds creatively made from sweaters, lovely seasonal greeting cards and creative rock art.
The Hidden Talents program has a regular booth at the Noblesville Farmers Market during the market season as well as the Hamilton County Marketplace during the colder months. A display of products can be viewed at the Janus Developmental Services, Inc. Capabilities Café in the bottom of the Hamilton County Judicial Building. The public is welcome to stop by our location at 1555 Westfield Road to view the products. As each work of art is created and sold, the entrepreneurs feel the pride of a job well done.
The Hidden Talents program is designed to support individuals with developmental disabilities and to awaken their ambition and fulfill their dreams. The specific skill sets taught through the Hidden Talents training program provides the practical foundation that enable individuals to develop life altering independence and growth. From the artistic development, production, marketing and sales of the variety of products individuals served in this program learn to develop profitable entrepreneurial skills.
