Why puzzles matter, for children with autism, for seniors, and for all of us. Explore trusted resources below.
Autism
1 in 31 children in the United States are on the autism spectrum, according to the CDC.
Autism is a highly heterogeneous disorder, and people with autism can present very differently. Some common signs are challenges with social skills, speech impairments, or sensory and motor difficulties.
Cognitive Aging
About 18% of the U.S. population is over 65, and cognitive impairment rises sharply with age.
3% of those aged 65-69 have dementia, while the number is 35% for those over 90. Some ways to help prevent dementia are maintaining a healthy lifestyle and staying connected with friends and family.
The Power of Puzzles
Jigsaw puzzles have been shown to increase problem-solving skills, memory, fine motor skills, attention to detail, cognitive development, and relaxation.
They can give users a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Our goal is to spread positivity and learning to the community through puzzles.
