Linia vieții: Ovidiu Damian at TEDxEroilor - Challenging Minds

I received a PhD title in psychology and I am specialized in Autism Spectrum Disorders. After graduating university, together with a group of colleagues we set up the Cluj-Napoca branch of Hans Spalinger Association. I am a trainer and president of the Romanian Curative Education Federation and since 2009 I became a specialist in aviation psychology.I researched on dynamic and functional evaluation of autistic and severely mentally disabled children.

The study of neurocognitive functioning and joint attention mechanism offered me the opportunity of working under the guidance of several people whom I profoundly respect: Oana Benga, Felicia Iftene, Nicolae Jurcău. I will soon finish writing an intervention manual for parents of children with severe disabilities and the book David, beyond autism...

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
