Insights from Dr Temple Grandin – a pioneer of autism education

I recently attended a webinar with Dr Temple Grandin

What an inspiration she is!  In addition to having her own diagnosis of Autism, she has become a passionate spokesperson for kids on the spectrum.

As I listened to her sage advice, I had a few lightbulb moments.

I noticed how her observations and skills match the child-centered approach we take on the Connected Kids programme.  Meeting the needs of young people with SEN using mindful approaches and teaching them mindful skills that work to reduce stress and anxiety.

In this short video I’ve shared these insights and ideas and hope you find it helpful if you are trying to teach meditation skills to Autistic kids and teens.
