JAVIER THE DARING<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image-subtitle-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"image-subtitle sqs-dynamic-text\" data-width-percentage=\"23.8\">As a final recommendation, we wanted to bring up our very own Georgia center director, Evelyn Villamar, and her wonderful book, Javier the Daring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-subtitle sqs-dynamic-text\" data-width-percentage=\"23.8\">Evelyn wrote this fictional story about Javier, an Afro-Caribbean boy with autism overcoming challenges with patience, love, and understanding. Javier is an amazing character made up of a combination of children Evelyn has worked with as an RBT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-subtitle sqs-dynamic-text\" data-width-percentage=\"23.8\">Evelyn explains the importance of representation for both Latinos and Black Americans by saying, \u201cRepresentation matters. My goal was to not only make it sound and look like a children\u2019s book but also give people in the Latino community a way to hear and talk about autism in a positive and hopeful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1677783566166_88372\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1677783566166_88487\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Fuentes citadas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ashline, J &amp; The Orange County Register. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2012\/03\/02\/what-does-dr-seuss-have-to-do-with-autism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What does Dr. Seuss have to do with autism?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Recommendations for Children With ASD This year, Applied ABC is participating in Reading Across America to share our love of reading.
