Keynote-The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism and Asperger's

Dr. Temple Grandin gets down to the REAL issues of autism, the ones parents, teachers, and individuals on the spectrum face every day. Temple offers helpful do’s and don’ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her “insider” perspective and a great deal of research.

Breakout #1:  Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships: Decoding Social Mysteries through the Unique Perspectives of Autism

Often those with Autism/Asperger's suffer socially and professionally because social cues and perceptions hinder their lives. This enlightening and thought-provoking topic educates both those on the spectrum and their caregivers.

Breakout #2:  Helping Difference Minds Solve Problems

There are three basic ways that people think differently when solving problems. They are photo realistic, visual thinking like me, pattern mathematical, which is the way most engineers think and word verbal thinking. When projects are being designed, people with different ways of thinking have complementary skills.
