Wed., April 3 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This event has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 4th at 7pm. The Zoom link is the same. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming Dr. Grandin in June!
Join us for a special event with Dr. Grandin, one of the world’s most accomplished and well-known adults with autism. Dr. Grandin has been at the forefront of research and activism for autism and neurodiversity for decades.
Her memoir, Emergence: Labeled Autistic, was published in 1986 and she has continued to write about autism and neurodivergence over the decades. Her most recent book is Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions.
Dr. Grandin’s research and understanding of animal behavior spearheaded a reform in the quality of life for agricultural animals worldwide.
A recording will be online within 5 days of the program and will be available for 30 days on ILP’s YouTube channel; a link will be sent to all Zoom registrants.
