Halloween is the perfect time to practice some everyday skills, and Amelia has been working hard to prepare for her role as the one handing out candy!

Our BCBA, Haley, has been working with Amelia through Behavioral Skills Training, a teaching method that breaks learning into four steps: explaining expectations, modeling the skill, practicing together, and providing feedback.

Once Amelia had mastered the skill during practice, it was time to put it to the test! She headed over to our satellite building, where she got to practice handing out candy to some of our younger clients.

And she did an amazing job!

We love seeing skills learned through behavior support carry over into real-life situations. Something as simple as answering the door and handing out Halloween candy involves communication, social interaction, following a routine, and building independence.

Thanks to Haley's guidance and Amelia's hard work, she's ready for Halloween!

Paige is an important part of the team at Bella Ragazza Boutique, where her customized role allows her to contribute to the business and work alongside a supportive team.

We asked Bella Ragazza owner Natasha Stanley how Paige's role benefits the business, and we loved her response:

“I would say that processing our shipments is a very important part of getting merchandise to the sales floor for our customers and Paige helps us in that. She always does it with a smile and makes task work more fun!”

This is a great example of what customized employment can look like. By identifying tasks that benefit the business and align with an individual's skills, employers can create positions that are valuable to everyone involved.

We're grateful to Natasha and the team at Bella Ragazza for recognizing what Paige brings to their business and giving her the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way.

And Paige, we love seeing you hard at work!

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and we're celebrating our very own Ryan Kizer, DPT, Director of Therapy Services at Puzzle Pieces!

Physical Therapy is one of the newest additions to our growing Therapy Services division, and we're excited about the opportunities it brings to the individuals and families we serve.

Physical Therapy can play an important role in helping individuals improve mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and overall physical function. For the people we serve, that support is centered around their individual needs and goals, helping them participate more fully in everyday activities.

As Director of Therapy Services, Ryan is helping us expand the support available at Puzzle Pieces and continue building a therapy program that meets the needs of our community.

We're grateful for Ryan's knowledge, leadership, and commitment to the individuals we serve.

Happy Physical Therapy Month, Ryan!

We may have a few future race car drivers at The Pieces!

Our clients had a great time celebrating the grand opening of Fast Lane Auto Repair's new Highway 54 location!

Fast Lane invited several local nonprofits to join the celebration, and we were excited to spend the afternoon checking out the festivities.

A favorite part of the day was getting behind the wheel of a racing simulator from Beyond Reality Simulations. Our clients had a blast trying it out, and our staff got in on the action, too!

We love seeing local businesses celebrate their success by including the community around them. It was a fun afternoon for our crew, and we appreciate Fast Lane Auto Repair thinking of Puzzle Pieces.

Congratulations on the new location, and thank you for inviting us to celebrate with you!
