Meet Julia’s Family!

By J. Stapleton-Durham | April 5, 2019

In celebration of Autism Acceptance Month this April, we are excited to announce the introduction of Julia’s family for the first time in Muppet form! Julia’s parents, big brother, and dog Rose appear in new digital videos celebrating the importance of families. We’ve also released new resources focused on bullying, which disproportionately affects children with autism. All of these resources are available on sesamestreet.org/autism in both English and Spanish.

You can also tune in to an all-new episode with Julia airing Monday, April 8, 2019 on WSKG TV!

Julia was introduced online in 2015 and had her TV debut in 2017. Learn more about her character here.
