Jigsaw Project

What is Jigsaw Project?

Jigsaw Project is a non-profit organization who's main goal is to better the lives of families living with autism. The primary way we aim to achieve this is by funding Luke's Place, a residential camp established by the Grandparents of a child with autism to provide children and families affected by autism, a camp experience with a supportive community.

What is Autism:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. They include autistic disorder, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome. Current data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 1 in 88 American children have been identified with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
