Puzzle Pieces' mission is to provide a safe environment for individuals with intellectual disabilities and promote independence, life skills, community access and involvement, social interaction, communication, self-worth and build trusting relationships

Puzzle Pieces accepts individuals with intellectual disabilities, starting at 8 years of age with no age cap at this time. A younger child may be considered, but on a case by case basis.
