Angel’s got Sol! Angel and his family — mom Dulce, older sister Lluvia, some cousins, nieces, and others — all go to the Cook Library Center to learn together, create memories, and connect with their community. Dulce says Angel, who is autistic, has changed completely since they started coming to the library after school and over the summers. With the help of GAAH staff and the support of his family, Angel learned how to advocate for his own sensory needs, developed skills to keep himself safe, and has started talking about going to college someday. Hear this incredible family’s story at Día del Sol on Thursday, June 11. Get your tickets today: https://tinyurl.com/diadelsol26⁠

¡Angel trae el Sol!

Dulce cuenta que Angel, quien es autista, ha cambiado por completo desde que comenzaron a asistir a la biblioteca después de la escuela y durante los veranos. Con la ayuda del personal de GAAH y el apoyo de su familia, Angel aprendió a abogar por sus propias necesidades sensoriales, desarrolló habilidades para mantenerse a salvo y ha comenzado a hablar sobre ir a la universidad algún día. Escuche la historia de esta increíble familia en el Día del Sol, jueves 11 de junio. Consigue tus entradas hoy mismo: https://tinyurl.com/diadelsol26⁠
