Aspie 101 for the Special Education World, with Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D.
Dr. Liane Holliday Willey, a national speaker, author, editor, and self-advocate is one of the
most sought after speakers on Asperger’s Syndrome. Her story has been highlighted in The
USA Today, Psychology Today, ABC News, and dozens of other national and international
media. Liane has been the subject of many national and international media stories and has
written several books on Autism Spectrum Disorders, including the best selling book,
“Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome." She is currently the senior
editor for Autism Spectrum Quarterly and an ASD consultant for B.R.A.I.N.S. Inc, in Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Dr. Willey's presentation will focus on her life story from her earliest
memories as a very young child, to her world as she now experiences it. Included in her
presentation is information on how teachers and others supported and taught her and how
she came to understand and cope with her Asperger’s Syndrome. Liane will also present her
vision of how we can make life for all students on the Autism Spectrum more rich and
rewarding. Following the presentation, the audience will have a clearer understanding of the
language, social, executive functioning, sensory integration, and psychological difficulties
Asperger's Syndrome typically causes. With this knowledge in hand, educators and parents
should find it possible to design solid supports and strategies for academic, emotional and
physical success.
