What an honor to host Temple
Grandin at the GPS on Sept 21 with almost 2500 participants in
attendance!
Dr Temple Grandin explained the
need for different kinds of minds and reminded us to get away from
labels and focus on improving outcomes.
She
shared common sense career advise for people on the spectrum- create a
portfolio, and consider the trades she also reminded us of the need to stench
our students to expose them to real world experiences.
"As a school psychologist, Dr.
Grandins advice to "stretch" young people's minds and not get
stuck on labels in order to promote students' self development resonated with
my overall professioanl goals. I plan on having her advice present as a
springboard to thinking outside the box when working with multi needs students
and families. "
