Topic: Mastering Sensory Challenges During The Holidays
Speaker: Dr. Temple Grandin
“Everyone” loves the holiday season, the crispness in the air, the special family meals, and gatherings, but does “everyone” REALLY love the Holidays?
Growing up, Temple faced many issues with social activities, accepting gifts you do not prefer, Christmas parties at home and at school, sitting still during church services, and enduring long dinners at Grandma’s house. These proved to be real problem areas for her.
In this informative webinar, Temple will address challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum with a special focus on sensory issues. More importantly, she will give her best advice on how to combat these issues to ensure positive outcomes for everyone involved.
