Join us for a special event featuring renowned animal scientist and autism advocate Dr. Temple Grandin, including a screening of her latest documentary, Temple Grandin: An Open Door.
Dr. Grandin, whose portrait is part of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, will share her insights on autism and animal behavior. She’ll cover strategies for supporting sensory-based, verbal, mathematical, and auditory learners, the importance of schedules, and practical workarounds for school, work, and daily life.
Whether you’re in the autism community or the livestock industry, this talk is informative and unforgettable.
By participating, you will learn:
• How to create a learning environment that accommodates individuals with diverse ways of thinking.
• The importance of treating all animals humanely.
• Practical methods for enhancing the welfare of farm and ranch animals.
“Autism helped me understand animals because I think in pictures. Since animals do not have language, their memories have to be sensory-based instead of word-based.” ~Dr. Temple Grandin
