Meet Julia‘s family!

Sesame Street announced Monday that it will introduce viewers to the loved ones of their character Julia, who has autism, in honor of Autism Awareness Month.

The creative gang includes Julia’s older brother Sam, her mom (who is an art teacher), her dad (who plays the saxophone) and her pup, Rose.

“We know families that have children on the spectrum, they face unique challenges. But more importantly, there’s so much they share,” Sesame Workshop‘s Senior Vice President for U.S. Social Impact, Jeanette Betancourt, told Good Morning America about the initiative.
