Every family belongs here. Support where it’s needed most.

​

The Leon Viamille Center | Purpose Academy is a neighborhood home for neurodivergent children, youth and adults and the families who care for them, planned for Flatbush, Brooklyn, across from Kings County Hospital and SUNY Downstate. It is led by Perfect Piece of the Puzzle, Inc.™ and the Irie Jam Foundation™, two organizations rooted in the community and united by one belief: every family belongs here.

​

In loving memory

The Center is named in loving memory of Leon Viamille, a beloved godbrother and cousin, whose memory guides everything we build here: a place where every person is welcomed as they are, and every family finds support.

 

Why we’re here
We exist to support the underserved in the underserved communities. In Central Brooklyn, an estimated 1,660 to 1,890 autistic children live near the Center, and most of their families receive no respite care. These families carry intensive caregiving with almost no relief, and no dedicated, culturally grounded respite center serves them.

 

What happens here

• Respite Program: trusted, supervised care so caregivers can rest.

• Enrichment Series: workshops, resources and guidance for families.

• Recreation Motivation: adaptive sports and activities.

• Arts for the Awesome: art, music and performance in sensory-friendly spaces.

• Irie C.A.R.E.S.: youth mentorship and media, with a shared studio for podcasts, video and live streams.

​

Our promise
Every family belongs here, whatever its ability, income, language or background. Families who can pay help sustain services for families who cannot.
