We are delighted to share that Dr. Temple Grandin will be an honored guest at our school on Friday! She will speak to our staff and students and do book signings.
Dr. Grandin is a scientist and industrial designer who used her experience with autism to create systems designed to ease stress in people with autism, as well as animals. She is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and works with Future Horizons, an organization dedicated to empowering families and individuals affected by autism.
Thank you to Dayna Miller-Black for helping arrange this opportunity for our students! Dr. Grandin will visit Arkansas State University on Thursday. Additional information and link to order tickets is available here:
