It is the mission of The Puzzling Piece to raise Autism awareness, as well as help families that have been touched by Autism feel loved and supported through the gift of technology. The Puzzling Piece also honors those who help the children and families touched by Autism by making donations to Autism based non-profit organizations with each sale that is made. Through awareness and the efforts to place iPads in the hands of children, teachers and therapists the Puzzling Piece strives to enhance the lives of children and families touched by Autism.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjxOuXUw_qs Careful this clip could make you cry happy tears.  It would mean the world to so many people touched by autism if you could share our story.  Melissa Winter President/Mom 201-602-0547 info@thepuzzlingpiece.com
