An important tool, to detect, create awareness, and an invitation to love and care for those under the Autism spectrum.
During a special event held in Miami, Florida, award winner journalist Sofia Lachapelle launched her book «A Special Super Hero», “Soy un Súper Héroe Especial” in Spanish.
The non-profit organization “Un Paso a la Vez,” is dedicated to parents and families in the Latino community that have a child or and adult with special needs. The 50% of its resources are dedicated to the Autism condition.
“Our goal is to inspire parents and families to believe in a better future for their loved ones, to become part of their lives in action, because parents are called to be the mentors, and best therapist for their children’s.“ Lachapelle, mother of two kids with autism said. “Un Paso a la Vez, will provide information, emotional support, therapies and all the tools for those people under the umbrella of what we called Special Families. The official website 1pasoalavez.com is in Spanish because we believed the Latino community needs more resources in our language.»
