Sesame Workshop Adds More Resources to Free Autism Program

Sesame Workshop is helping families in yet another way! As part of its Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children initiative, the organization is launching new resources to help families cope with challenges, create new routines and embrace flexibility.

Julia continues to be at the center of Sesame Workshop’s program, a four-year-old with autism. In partnership with Exceptional Minds, the pair are releasing a new animated video that follows Julia along as she copes with her fear of the dark.

Not only will families be able to tune in to the new video, but they can also take advantage of new coloring pages, activity sheets and Good Night routine cards to help children develop a healthy bedtime routine. Printables will all be available at sesamestreet.org/autism and are free to everyone.

Additionally Sesame Workshop is partnering with Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) to launch new versions of We’re Amazing 1, 2, 3 digital storybooks in both Mandarin and Cantonese.
