The team
Kelly Lynn Redden
Trainer - ADHD, Autism & Dyslexia
Kelly designs and delivers customised neurodiversity training for schools - tailored to your age groups, your staff's existing knowledge and your priorities. Her sessions help teachers understand individual differences and support needs, recognise distress without assuming every difficulty is caused by neurodivergence, build on students' strengths while addressing barriers, make practical and reasonable classroom adjustments, and know when to involve families, learning-support specialists or health professionals.

Kelly Lynn Redden brings more than 30 years of international experience across education, coaching, consulting and training. She has worked extensively with children, adolescents and adults with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and a wide range of cognitive and behavioural profiles, across many different cultural contexts. Her work has always focused on understanding the individual beyond diagnostic labels - through careful assessment, relationship-building and highly individualised educational, behavioural and professional support strategies. She holds a Master's degree in Special Education (children with autism) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Analysis and Intervention in Learning Disabilities.
Her professional background spans schools, universities, families, clinical settings, workplaces and international organisations, allowing her to bridge educational, therapeutic and organisational perspectives in a uniquely integrated way. Drawing on both professional expertise and her own lived experience with autism, she brings an empathetic, strengths-based and ethically grounded approach to her work, with particular emphasis on psychological safety, dignity, wellbeing and authentic inclusion.
Her specialist areas include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning, sensory integration, social emotional learning, Universal Design for Learning, inclusive pedagogy, low arousal approaches and neurodiversity-affirming practice. Her additional specialist training and implementation experience includes PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), PRT (Pivotal Response Treatment) and SCERTS, alongside curriculum development, individualised intervention planning and professional development programme design.
Kelly has delivered coaching, consultation and training internationally across Belgium, Senegal, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, the Netherlands, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, China, Mongolia and the United States. She works with Let's Be Real as a freelance trainer, bringing specialist sessions on ADHD, autism and dyslexia to schools, educators and families.
