Lisa Lloyd

Lisa Lloyd is a renowned diversity and inclusion advocate, celebrated for her work in neurodiversity and parenting. An Amazon bestselling author, her book “Raising the Sen-Betweeners”, published in 2024, captures her journey as a mother of two neurodivergent children, offering a deeply personal insight into raising children with special educational needs. With her unique blend of personal experience and professional insight, Lisa is widely recognised as a keynote speaker, addressing topics that range from neurodiversity and advocacy to creating inclusive, adaptive learning environments. Her speeches resonate strongly with audiences, as she shares candidly about the importance of acceptance and support for neurodivergent individuals.

Lisa’s influence extends far beyond her speaking engagements. As Co-Founder of S.E.N.D. Reform England, she is a vocal proponent for educational reform that accommodates all learning needs, ensuring neurodivergent children can access an education tailored to their unique learning styles. Her approach to inclusion incorporates adaptive methods like kinesthetic and auditory learning, which have played a significant role in her family’s experience. This hands-on understanding of neurodiversity in everyday life has allowed her to connect meaningfully with parents, educators, and organisations, helping to dismantle misconceptions around conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

In 2023, Lisa contributed to “The Journey into S.E.N.D Motherhood: Finding the End of the Rainbow”, a collaborative book where she and 16 other women share their stories of parenting neurodivergent children. Her writing has been widely praised for its honesty and vulnerability, qualities that also define her keynote presentations. Through social media, where she engages with over 93,000 followers on Instagram and 131,000 on TikTok, Lisa offers support and practical advice to a broad community. This engagement has further positioned her as a trusted authority on neurodiversity and autism, particularly for mothers navigating similar parenting journeys.

In recognition of her work, Lisa was nominated for the Positive Role Model Award for Disability at the 2024 National Diversity Awards, solidifying her status as a key figure in advocacy. Her appearances on stages such as for Sky UK’s “Free To Be Me” Roundtable Talk Show showcase her dedication to raising awareness around neurodiversity and providing effective support for neurodivergent individuals in educational and professional settings. For organisations and events focused on diversity, inclusion, and neurodiversity, Lisa Lloyd’s ability to connect through empathy and knowledge makes her an inspiring and sought-after speaker.
