Influential Women Highlights Kelly Leffler: Connecting Education, Advocacy, And Personal Storytelling Through Purpose
Brighton, Colorado – Kelly Leffler is an experienced Special Needs Paraprofessional who currently works as a Behavior Technician (BT) at an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) center. She is also a self-published author and Psychology student whose professional and personal journey reflects a deep commitment to supporting others, pursuing growth, and moving forward through challenges. With more than 15 years of experience across education, office administration, retail, and caregiving, Kelly has developed a versatile foundation in communication, organization, customer service, and student-centered support.
In her current role as a Behavior Technician at an ABA center, Kelly works directly with clients to implement individualized behavior intervention and skill-building strategies under the guidance of a supervising clinician. Her previous work as a Special Needs Paraprofessional allowed her to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to implement individualized strategies designed to encourage student growth, independence, and emotional well-being. Her approach is grounded in empathy, problem-solving, and advocacy, particularly when working with students who have significant support needs. She continues to expand her ability to communicate with diverse learners through independent study of American Sign Language, reflecting her interest in creating more inclusive and accessible environments.
Kelly’s professional background is supported by an A.S. in Psychology and studies in history from Front Range Community College. She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Psychology while balancing her academic responsibilities with her professional work and family life. Her additional credentials include a one-year substitute teaching license, CPR and AED certification, and training in customer service, including communication with challenging customers, building rapport and loyalty, call control, and serving customers through chat and text.
Her professional versatility has also contributed to her ability to adapt to different environments. Kelly is proficient in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, virtual learning platforms, and administrative systems, while her experience has strengthened her ability to multitask and remain committed to excellence.
Beyond her work in behavioral support and education, Kelly became a self-published author in 2024. She published her first book following a traumatic brain injury sustained during a workplace incident involving a student. The book explores her life journey from childhood through personal challenges involving faith, family, health, and raising children with special needs.
For Kelly, writing became part of her recovery and a way to document experiences that shaped her life. During her recovery, she spent time listening to Scripture and has shared that her faith played an important role in inspiring her to put her story into words. The experience allowed her to reflect on difficult chapters while sharing a message rooted in perseverance and personal growth.
Kelly attributes her success first and foremost to her faith in God, which has guided and grounded her throughout her journey. She is also grateful for the support of her husband, parents, friends, and teachers at Master’s Academy, particularly those who believed in her, nurtured her growth, and helped her rebuild confidence during difficult periods.
Her advice to young women entering her industry is centered on patience, faith, consistency, and community. Kelly encourages women to trust God, remain open to growth, seek mentorship and support, and take each step of the journey as it comes. Through behavioral support, education, special needs advocacy, authorship, and continued personal development, she continues to pursue her goals with perseverance and purpose.
