I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University and a Master’s of Education from DePaul University, with a dual certification in elementary and special education.
I taught for nine years in Chicago Public Schools and four years in a co-op district. As an Educational Advocate, I provide support to students and families. I facilitate collaboration between schools and families in order to find solutions and strategies that support student needs.

How Arielle works with families
Arielle Allen is based in Inverness, Illinois. Arielle meets families in person around Inverness and joins IEP meetings by video anywhere in Illinois. Arielle has not posted a fixed hourly rate and prices the work case by case. Payment goes to Arielle directly, by Credit Card and Bank Transfer. The listed age range runs from preschool through high school. This profile has been listed with us since February 2025. We do not set directory prices or handle payments between you and an independent advocate.
An advocate reads your child's school file, writes to the district, gets you ready for the meeting, and sits in the meeting with you.
Arielle is not an attorney and does not give legal advice.
No advocate can promise a result. The district still has to agree to what you ask for, or you have to take the disagreement further.
Hiring is between you and Arielle. Find Parent Advocates never assigns an advocate to a family, and the advocates listed here are independent professionals rather than our employees.
