All I can say is – I prayed and He answered. I desperately needed someone with the knowledge and heart for Bryson and that’s what I got with Shemica. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure that you are well-informed as a parent. To me that could never have a price tag attached to it. If you are a parent considering or knowing that you need help – I highly recommend that you contact her today. There is no reason to carry the load by yourself when there is someone like Shemica ready, willing, and capable to help you.

I was introduced to Shemica, three years ago when, my son with autism, and I were moving to Houston. Having her as an advocate was the best decision I ever made as I would not have been able to navigate the school system, those ARD meetings, and IEP without her. She is very knowledgeable and understands how the system works, and is always researching to make sure that all basis points are covered. She was able to advocate for services for my son that I never knew were possible. She is always available for discussions and I would definitely be using her services as long as she is able to continue to assist in the process of making my son achieve his true potentials.

I am incredibly grateful for Shemica Allen’s unwavering dedication and expertise in advocating for disability services for my son throughout his educational journey. When my son was initially denied dyslexia services, Shemica’s knowledge and relentless commitment led to a hard-fought victory. Her respect and proficiency in this field were instrumental in ensuring my son received the support he needed from elementary to high school. I can’t thank her enough for the positive impact she has had on my son’s life and our family.

Shemica Allen, M.S. is the secret weapon I didn’t realize I needed. As a new family to Texas we encountered so many obstacles with my elementary child on an IEP and ran out of resources personally until we found Personalized Learning Solutions via a Facebook search. Let me say she will forever stay on the payroll. Her knowledge, experience and expertise is unmatched. She has also been an asset to the educators in the district introducing new tools/ programs used by other districts to help special need educators and students succeed. She shows up to every meeting prepared with facts. Thank you for being with us on this journey. My child is more successful because of your support.

Ms. Allen has been my daughter’s advocate since we moved to Texas in 2019. She has not only made such a difference for my daughter in her diligent review of her IEPS as well as attending and advocating for my daughter at her ARDs, she also has given me the confidence to go into ARD meetings knowing that she has my daughter’s best interests in mind. She knows her stuff and she is the bomb. BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT.

Family centered advocate with a rich knowledge of special education regulations and a keen understanding of school culture and “school speak.” I always learn something new at her professional development workshops and have referred her to parents and organizations time and time again.

The Parent Advocate MasterClass course is very informative and provides a lot of additional prints and resources that could be of use. Thank you for organizing it!

This is a long time coming. Shemica really helped my Son and I during his junior and senior year in high school. She provided the help I thought was non-existent. She provided advice, resources, emotional support (although not sure if this is part of her services), and hope to navigate the complexity of having to deal with reluctant and dismissive school administrators. I wished I would have known her way before my Son’s junior year in high school. She suggested accommodations that would help my Son graduate. Post high school, my Son still needs resources and she suggested the TWC Vocational Rehabilitation. She is Heaven-sent, Phenomenal, Professional, Fully-Knowledgeable of the IDEA processes, Understanding, and Efficient. Without her, I do not think I would have been able to navigate the red-tape and complexity of the barriers school systems for students with disabilities. I am forever grateful and indebted for the services she provided. There are Angels (in human form) walking this Earth!
