Dr. Grandin, a renowned animal scientist and a person with high-functioning autism, is an inspiration to many in the autistic community. She is a highly regarded speaker about autism as well as her area of expertise - the livestock industry. Her life is the subject of the award-winning HBO movie, "Temple Grandin."
Keynote Presenter:
Temple Grandin is a doctor of animal science and a professor at Colorado State University. She is a best-selling author and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. As a person with high-functioning autism, Dr. Grandin is also widely noted for her work in autism advocacy and is the inventor of the "hug machine," which is designed to calm hypersensitive persons. Throughout her career, Grandin has used her autism to gain insight into the minds of cattle – and develop methods to treat them more humanely. Grandin is listed in the 2010 Time Magazine list of the 100 most influential people in the world in the category "Heroes."
