In 2010 Dr. Temple Grandin was named one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World”  Dr. Grandin is currently a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and she has been a pioneer in improving the handling and welfare of farm animals for several decades. Diagnosed with autism as a child, at age two she had no speech. Now she is an international speaker on the subject of autism and the author of many books.

Her newest book – out today! – Autism and Education: The Way I See It, is posed to be a bestseller.  In it Dr. Grandin discusses the real issues that parents, teachers, and kids face every day.
