Temple Grandin“Different, Not Less”
Character Analysisby
Carrie Kelly & Traci Smith
Cognitive/Perceptual Skills
Piaget’s Scale: Formal Operational Skills (break ideas/concepts apart and build them in a different way)
Zone of Proximal Development: Large Field dependence → Field independence Reflective about how animals feel, but not about how she feels or
how other human beings feel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBLtVMKmdik&feature=related
Depending on the situation, Temple could be very impulsive She became impulsive when her senses became overwhelmed Sometimes, this worked out to her benefit (getting into the beef lot) Sometimes, this doesn’t work well (punching classmates when she
gets mad or frustrated)

Memory• Temple, for the most part, has a photographic memory. If
she sees it once, she memorizes it for life• She sees/recalls life as a chain of pictures or moments in
her life• Auditory memory is not as well developed as her visual
memory.
Social &
EmotionalSocial

Emotional Withdrew from people due
to overstimulation (noises & colors hurt)
Can’t read emotional language (verbal or physical)
Her mom explained to her what it means to “talk with your eyes”, but Temple still couldn’t understand.
Keep classroom as visually un-stimulating as possible
not a lot of bright vibrant colors, consistent temperature if possible, not too many loud noises (intercom, telephones, beepers, etc., should be turned down to a minimum)
Do not touch students without knowing their physical touch threshold. Using pictures to help teach a student like Temple is very important,
but other students may have other area that they excel (music, art, etc.)
Label personal items so students KNOW what is theirs Be open-minded, and in tune with your students, so you can help
them be as comfortable as possible and able to find their own “calming” zone.
Routine, routine, routine. If a change in routine is necessary, warn students in advance and
continue to tell them until the event happens.
