Liane is a psycholinguist who works as an education consultant, author, and equestrian team therapist in a variety of settings from the classroom to the barn. She is also a woman who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome when she was in her mid-30’s. During her presentations to the autism community, Liane pulls from her personal, academic and professional experience to keep her talks timely, thought provoking, motivational, and fun.
