Ava Goes.....Series
by Alicia Coleman-Clark and Ava Clark 

All of the books in this series are from a child's point of view. Children with autism are often presented with "social stories" to familiarize them with new experiences. Books include a resource page for parents to support them as they advocate for their child with special needs.

Ava Goes To The Dentist explains the process from beginning to end about what a trip to the dentist looks like.

Ava Goes to the Beach with Friends is the second book in the Ava Goes...series. This book is about a child with autism who goes to the beach for the first time.

Ava Goes to the Zoo finds Ava at the zoo. Ava is excited to share this new experience and looks forward to new adventures.

A portion of the authors royalties from the original sale of this book are going to the UC Davis MIND Institute and Stanford Universities Autism and Developmental Disorders Research Program for the respective continued research in autism.
