Temple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and pioneer in improving the handling and welfare of farm animals. Temple’s achievements are remarkable because she was an autistic child. At age two she had no speech and all the signs of severe autism.
Many hours of speech therapy and intensive teaching enabled Temple to learn speech. Mentoring by her high school science teacher and her aunt on her ranch in Arizona motivated Temple to study and pursue a career as a scientist and livestock equipment designer.
Her book, Animals in Translation was a New York Times best seller. She also has a popular TED Talk. In 2010, she was honored in Time Magazine’s “The 100 Most Influential People in the World.”
