Temple Grandin - Autism and Giftedness: How to Develop the Child's Strengths - April 5, 2010, Fairview High School 7pm View Flyer Habrá interpretación en Español
Asperger's Syndrome is one of the conditions found on the autism spectrum. Children with Asperger’s Syndrome are described as having quite a range of abilities, as are gifted children. Most children with the disorder seem to have a special interest or ability which enables them to achieve quite extraordinary levels of performance in a specific area. Grandin advocates early intervention to address autism, and supportive teachers who can direct fixations of the child with autism in positive directions. Based on personal experience, Grandin will discuss:
- How and Why People with Autism Think Differently
- Economical Early Intervention Programs that Work
- How Sensory Sensitivities Affect Learning;
- Teaching People with Autism to Live in an Unpredictable World
- Careers and Learning Work Skills.
