MEET JULIA
Julia is a sweet and curious 4-year-old with autism.
The orange-haired girl with twinkling eyes sometimes does things differently,
“in a Julia sort of way”, but Elmo and Abby help the other kids on Sesame Street
understand that even if Julia doesn’t look you in the eye, it doesn’t mean that
she doesn’t want to be your friend. Simply by making Julia “part of the gang,”
she is already having a big impact, helping to teach children and families all
about acceptance. Julia highlights that while the differences between children
with autism and their peers may seem significant, all children have something
far more important: unique qualities and talents that make the world a more
interesting place!
Say “hello” to Julia at Sesame Place and take photos with her at Photos with
Elmo & Friends.SESAME PLACE SENSORY GUIDE PAGE 9
