Aspie 101 for the Special Education World, with Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D.
sought after speakers on Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). 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.
Learning Objectives for Participants:
-Create strategies designed to improve language comprehension and usage for students with AS
-Define and explain the unique cognitive patterns of people with AS
-Design strategies to improve cognitive processing and problem solving techniques among
people with AS
-Recognize some of the unique social patterns associated with AS
-Identify and explain the relationship between sensory integration and school and/or social
success
-Plan an emotional support system for people affected by AS
