GRASP Honors Diane Twachtman-Cullen, Ph.D. GRASP continues an annual tradition begun last year, the bestowing of the " GRASP DNA (the Divine Neurotypical Award). " The award itself is a round peg in a square hole, in reference to the " square peg in a round hole " that we as spectrumites are often referred as. With this we infer that the honoree doesn't fit all that perfectly into society either. And the " DNA " refers to our belief in the genetic nature of autism. Diane Twachtman-Cullen, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is the Editor-in-Chief of the Autism Spectrum Quarterly (www.ASQuarterly.com), as well as a Board member of the Autism Society of America. She is the author of three books: A Passion to Believe; Trevor Trevor; How to be a Para Pro: A Comprehensive Training Manual for Paraprofessionals, and How Well Does Your IEP Measure Up?, co-authored with Twachtman-Reilly, M.S., CCC-SLP. Dr. Twachtman-Cullen also serves on the advisory boards of the Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding; the Asperger Syndrome Parents Education Network (ASPEN); MAAP Services, Inc.; the College Internship Program; the ASPIE School; and the Specialminds Foundation. The dinner benefit will feature speakers from GRASP's Board, colleagues of Diane's, a video presentation, and possibly a friend or family member or two. Volunteers?
