Join Us for a Day with Dr. Temple Grandin
We are honored to welcome world-renowned author and advocate Dr. Temple Grandin to Chaffee County on August 7, 2026, for a full day of learning, connection, and community impact.
Throughout the day, Dr. Grandin will engage with a variety of local groups across Salida:
- Morning: She will kick off the day at Brew & Bloom, one of Achieve's social enterprises providing mentorship and job skills training for neurodivergent individuals.
- Midday: She will join local agricultural leaders, ranchers, and veterinarians for a special luncheon focused on livestock handling, animal behavior, and industry innovation.
- Afternoon: Dr. Grandin will speak at Salida High School, offering insights and inspiration to educators, parents, trade skill programs, and anyone supporting neurodivergent learners.
- Evening: The day concludes at the SteamPlant with an open community gathering, followed by a keynote presentation from Dr. Grandin and a screening of the award-winning film, Temple Grandin
We invite the entire community to join us for these meaningful events celebrating inclusion, practical wisdom, and the power of neurodiverse strengths.
