In this very special bonus episode of the Sensory Friendly Solutions Podcast our Host Matt George is chatting with the towering autism champion, Dr. Temple Grandin.

Dr. Temple Grandin is well known to many for her trailblazing work as a spokesperson for people with autism and her lifelong work in the field of animal behaviour. Dr. Grandin has been with Colorado State University (CSU) for over 25 years and has led an incredibly productive and diverse professional life.

Her life’s work has been to understand her own autistic mind, and to share that knowledge with the world, helping autistics and people who identify as neurodiverse. Her understanding of the human mind has played a critical role in her work with animal behaviour, and she is one of the most respected experts in both autism and animal behaviour in the world.

Welcome to the 55+ Travelers Arriving & Thriving audio conference brought to you by Sensory Friendly Solutions.

I'm Christel Seeberger founder and CEO of Sensory Friendly Solutions.
Traveling, touring, taking vacations, going on day trips and even going out to enjoy arts and culture in the local community is an important part of daily life at any age. Globally, the number of older persons is growing faster than the number of people in all younger age groups. Older, mature travelers want, need and expect different experiences when they travel, in particular as vision, hearing and mobility changes, as we all age travelers 55 years and older also want, need and expect different sensory experiences.
Join hosts Sophie and Christopher, both McGill occupational therapy students and me as we interview a series of expert guests from travel, tourism, arts and culture for this audio conference. You will also hear person first accounts from mature travelers about the sensory experiences that they expect.
We hope you enjoy and learn from this audio conference, a series of exclusive podcast conversations about how travel and tourism operators can deliver exceptional sensory from the experiences for the growing 55 plus traveler market.
