We were thrilled to be able to host Dr. Temple Grandin, an exceptional scientist, author, and speaker, at SCIG!
Dr. Temple Grandin is a renowned animal behavior expert, advocate for autism awareness, and author. She is also known for her work in animal welfare, particularly in designing humane livestock handling systems. Dr. Grandin herself is on the autism spectrum and has used her unique perspective to revolutionize the livestock industry and raise awareness about autism. She’s written several books, including “Thinking in Pictures” and “Animals in Translation,” and her life story has been depicted in a biographical film titled “Temple Grandin.”
We had quite a full house for Dr. Grandin to speak with when she visited the arena on Thursday, May 23rd. As she spoke she emphasized the importance of involving kids in tasks such as preparing meals, teaching them to drive, and helping them acquire job skills to prepare them for a beautiful successful future. She also signed copies of her books and took photos with people who came to meet her!
We were all thrilled to have the opportunity to meet Dr. Grandin and are thankful for everyone who worked hard to make this event a reality.

Temple Grandin, PhD, is one of the most well-known and accomplished adults with autism. As a child, she did not speak until she was 3 1/2, communicating her frustration by screaming, peeping and humming. Born in 1947, she was diagnosed with autism in 1950, at which point her parents were told she should be institutionalized.
Grandin ultimately went on to earn a PhD in animal science from the University of Illinois in 1989. She is currently a designer of livestock-handling facilities, consulting for major U.S. companies, and a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She has been widely featured in the media, including a 2010 TED talk titled, "The World Needs All Kinds of Minds."
