About Renalani

Renalani Moodley is a developmental expert with nearly 22 years of experience in diverse clinical settings, supporting individuals with a variety of neurotypes, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Health Science (Occupational Therapy) and a Master's Degree in Health Practice (Rehabilitation) from Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. In addition to her work with families, she has served as an OTA adjunct faculty member at Stanbridge University in Irvine, CA, and as the OTA Academic Fieldwork Coordinator at Pima Medical Institute in Las Vegas, NV.

As a Certified ADHD Rehab Service Provider and ASD Clinical Specialist, she has dedicated her career to understanding the unique strengths and challenges of individuals with ADHD and ASD. She is also an Approved PDA North America provider with Level 2 Advanced Training in Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) through Think:Kids, and is completing her Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) certification with CLASI. Her training and experience equip her to offer families a comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming approach, fostering understanding, skills, and strategies that support each child's development.

In her work with families, she guides parents through the complexities of ASD and ADHD, helping them navigate their child's unique sensory, social, and emotional needs. She provides individualized strategies and practical support to address challenges in academic, social, and family settings. Her approach prioritizes sensory integration, emotional regulation, and executive functioning skills, empowering parents to feel confident in advocating for and supporting their child.

Her personal experience as a mom to her wonderful neurodivergent son, born in 2016, has given her a unique perspective and deep empathy for the journey of raising a neurodivergent child.

Outside of helping families

Other interests.

Outside of work, Renalani finds peace and happiness with her family. They love traveling, exploring, and hanging out together — from theme parks to the beach. She loves cooking, entertaining, and spending time with family and friends.

Working at Kinspire allows me to truly make a difference in the lives of families. I love being part of a team that's dedicated to providing the resources, guidance, and support families need to navigate challenges and celebrate successes.
