About Me

Hi, I’m Jenelle Allen, RSSW, and founder of Resilient Steps Family Services. I’m a parent raising a neurodivergent child, and my personal journey inspired me to help other families navigate the challenges and joys of raising neurodivergent children. When my child was diagnosed, I shifted my studies from law to social service work to better understand systems and support him effectively. I became an ABA therapist, gaining hands-on experience supporting families and children, and I’m currently earning an Honours Bachelor in Applied Science in Social Service and Wellbeing Studies. Having walked this path myself, I understand the highs, the hurdles, and the small victories. I combine professional expertise with personal experience to provide guidance, practical strategies, and compassionate support. My goal is to help you feel confident, connected, and empowered in your parenting journey, creating a home where your child and your family can thrive.
