autismoLena McCalla Njee, a special education teacher of children with autism, launched the Spanish edition of her book, “El Autismo Inspira! La esperanza como salvacion para los padres,” to kick off National Autism Awareness Month. The book was translated to offer the Hispanic community a variety of resources, stories and case studies that will resonate with parents.

Author McCalla Njee cites that Hispanics are the nation’s largest minority group, and “among the 30 million young people, 20% are Hispanics.” (Pew Research Hispanic Center). As a result of this tremendous growth, she says: “I see increasing numbers of Hispanic parents of children with autism who need to learn more about this condition and find the support they need for these special children.”
