At Svendsen and Associates, we believe every child deserves and is entitled to an education that meets them where they are—no exceptions. This foundation is critical for life-long success and to maximize independence. Founded by Andrea Svendsen, our team offers more than 20 years of first-hand experience in special education and advocacy. Andrea has served as a special education teacher, alternative school principal, special education administrator and leader in a behavioral health organization, holding both a Master of Arts in Special Education and a Master of Arts in Educational Administration. This combination of diverse, practical and administrative expertise means we know how to navigate complex school systems from every angle—so you don’t have to.
We’ve helped hundreds of families secure essential services, goals, accommodations, and placement supports their children need to thrive. You shouldn’t have to fight for these resources alone. Our mission is simple: to stand by your side and champion your child’s unique needs. With empathy, expert guidance, and a genuine passion for seeing your child succeed, we’ll work together to ensure your family’s voice is heard in every conversation.
