  • Who Is Temple Grandin? Once Again, the Kids Were Tossing Insults At
    Who Is Temple Grandin? Once again, the kids were tossing insults at Temple Grandin in the hallway of junior high school. They picked on Temple because she didn’t act like everybody else. She spoke in a loud, flat voice. She repeated sentences over and over, word for word. She clapped her hands over her ears at the sound of the school bell. She acted lost and afraid in the crowded school hall. Kids couldn’t understand what made Temple tick. And Temple couldn’t understand them, either. That was because Temple’s brain worked differently from theirs. She had been born with a developmental disorder known as autism (say: AW--tiz--im). It showed up when she was a baby, making her behave in odd ways. On this day, Temple’s temper boiled over at the bullying. She hurled a book at a kid. Hours later, the principal expelled her from school. Probably no one was too surprised. Temple was flunking nearly all her subjects. They just didn’t interest her. Everyone back in 1961 would have been amazed to know that Temple would grow up to become a world--famous animal scientist. All through her career she has worked to improve the treatment of cows and other animals that are raised for food. Every year, millions and millions of cattle are killed for beef. Until Temple came along, people thought of cattle as products to turn into hamburgers and steaks. But Temple paid attention to the fear and pain cattle felt at large meat plants. As an autistic person, Temple often felt like a scared animal herself.

  • Dr. Temple Grandin Dr
    Dr. Temple Grandin Dr. Temple Grandin • She is an American Scientist and industrial designer. • She has created systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations. • Temple Grandin has autism. Autism • autism is: “A spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and unusual and repetitive behavior.” • The degree of autism varies from mild to severe. Temple Grandin • Temple Grandin was born on August 29, 1947, in Boston, MA. • She is the oldest of four children. • None of her siblings are autistic. • One of the first signs that a baby may be autistic is that it resists being held and cuddled; one of the first signs of autism. Temple Grandin • Since 1990, she has taught animal science at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO, where she also operates her own company, Grandin Livestock Systems. • Today, Temple has published over 300 scientific papers, has her own website which gets 5,000 visitors each month, gives 35 lectures on animal management a year, and gives about another 25 lectures about autism. • Half of the cattle in the United States and Canada are handled in humane slaughter systems she has designed. She feels she owes a lot of this success to the fact that her brain works differently. Autism has given her a perspective on animals that a lot of professionals don’t have. Temple Grandin • Temple tells people that whenever you have a problem with an animal, try to see what the animal is seeing and try to experience what the animal is experiencing. • Thought has to be given to the animals’ emotional lives, not just their physical lives.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    THANK YOU COLORADO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Thanks to you... DEAR FRIENDS The Coalition produced exceptional results in 2013 because of support, leadership, and collaboration among compassionate and dedicated organizations and individuals like you. To simply say we are thankful would understate the importance of our work and your role in it. We are profoundly grateful to you because you’ve enabled us to respond to more than 15,000 people who genuinely needed our help, and who themselves have valiantly worked to overcome the conditions that led to their homelessness. Four notable achievements stand out among our numerous programs and activities of 2013. We launched the new Fort Lyon Supportive Residential Community in Bent County, Colorado. It represents state and local efforts to re-purpose the former Fort Lyon Veterans Administration Hospital to meet the addiction recovery needs of homeless individuals from across Colorado, with an emphasis on homeless veterans. We began to secure financing for Renaissance at North Colorado Station, a new, mixed-income housing development in the Clayton neighborhood in Denver. Once complete, the transit-oriented project will include 103 apartment homes for homeless individuals and families and for those lower-income households in the community seeking affordable housing. To simply say we are thankful would understate the importance of our work and your role in it. 2 Residential instability increases risks for serious health problems, exacerbates existing illness, complicates treatment, and often exposes persons to further traumatization. In response, we pilot-tested a new integrated model of care at our West End Health Center to better meet the complex and specialized physical and behavioral health concerns of those we care for.
