The founder of “Complete The Puzzle” is Timiko Blackman Winn.
Currently she has a Master’s in Education and work with High School and Middle School students on their Curriculum and Instruction to continue to pursue higher education.
The motivation for creating this kind of organization is because Timiko has a nine-year-old son who has Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Speech Impairment, and Cognitive Disorder. Hence she had to self-educate herself of her son’s developmental disabilities by attending symposiums, fairs, workshops and joining Autism Programs within her community and in the city.
