I’ve battled systems, proved experts wrong, and transformed what professionals said was impossible through proven, replicable approaches. I have stories that will make your audience rethink everything they thought they knew about autism and neurodiversity.
Topics Keila Talks About
WORKPLACE INCLUSION
(That Actually Works)
Moving Beyond Performative Diversity
Keila dismantles the difference between “we hired a neurodivergent person” and “we built systems where neurodivergent people thrive.” With workplace neurodiversity mentions up 300% since 2018, she separates genuine transformation from corporate theatre—and shows organisations how to choose the former.
Key Topics:
- The “curb cut effect”: How designing for neurodivergence improves outcomes for everyone
- Why your “open door policy” is actually closing doors for neurodivergent employees
- From accommodation to advantage: Leveraging neurodivergent thinking in innovation
Ideal For:
Corporate leadership, HR teams, DEI initiatives, tech companies, startups
ACCESSIBLE PRESENTATION DESIGN
Clear Screens, Clear Minds Workshop
Every day, students sit through presentations that create cognitive barriers. Kay teaches educators and professionals how to redesign digital presentations using neuroscience-backed principles that reduce overwhelm and improve learning for all students—not just neurodivergent ones.
Key Topics:
- Why your PowerPoint is accidentally ableist (and how to fix it in 15 minutes)
- Typography, colour, layout: The science of cognitive load reduction
- The 5-second test: If students can’t process it quickly, you’ve already lost them
Ideal For:
Teachers, university lecturers, corporate trainers, conference speakers, and educational institutions.
THE NEURODIVERGENT PARENTING JOURNEY
From Diagnosis to Independence
Keila’s 19-year journey raising her autistic son—from level 3 diagnosis at age three to an independent young adult at 22—offers parents what theory alone never can: proof that transformation is possible. Her methodology for “healthy independence” combines lived experience with educational expertise.
Key Topics:
- What “healthy independence” actually means (hint: it’s not “cured” or “fixed”)
- The triple perspective: Being neurodivergent while parenting a neurodivergent child
- How to redesign systems around your child instead of forcing your child into systems
Ideal For:
Parents, family support groups, autism organisations, educational therapists, and community programs
Book Keila to Speak at Your Event
I don’t do inspiration porn. I don’t tell audiences to “be more aware.” I don’t give talks that feel good but change nothing.
I share the methodology that took my son from “he’ll never be independent” (Level 3 – Non-verbal at age 3) to an independent young adult (Level 2 at 22).
I teach frameworks that took a failing student to 80% in 5 weeks. I show organisations how one company increased neurodivergent retention by 40%.
If you want genuine transformation delivered with authenticity, evidence, and heart – let’s talk about your event.
