The training will give the attendees a better understanding of autism. They will learn how people with autism think. They will also gain a better understanding of problems with both sensory over sensitivity that many people on the spectrum experience. The presentation will be based on both Dr. Grandin’s experiences with autism and scientific research.

Temple Grandin is a member of the US Autism Association's Advisory Board, and is a featured speaker in the Video Streaming Library - the largest autism-focused streaming library in the world.

In her signature frank and matter-of-fact style, Dr. Temple Grandin uses this session to discuss the need for all individuals with autism, including even younger children, to “get off the couch” and build something, try a new hobby, or take on a part-time job to gain new skills and move towards independence and self-sufficiency. In this session, Dr. Grandin highlights the need for parents to help their children build on social skills, establish good work habits, and ultimately gain their independence through work projects and the development of interests and skills.
