You're Not Alone — Here's What Others Have Experienced
There were moments of uncertainty—trying to decide whether to switch schools or stay, questioning what was truly best for my child. Andrea was not just an advocate; she was a steady and reassuring presence. She listened, helped me see different perspectives, and gave me the clarity and confidence to make the right decisions. No matter how many changes came our way, she adapted and supported us through them all. Andrea has been an incredible advocate for my son, fighting for his needs while ensuring I never felt alone in this process.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Andrea Svendsen for anyone in need of expert advocacy for special needs.”
“Andrea’s expertise, confidence and special ed experience helped us to navigate through our school district and a therapeutic placement.”
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
When your child’s educational needs aren’t being met, it can feel overwhelming — and isolating. At Svendsen and Associates, we believe no parent should have to fight alone for the support their child deserves.
I started this practice to stand beside families during some of their most challenging moments — helping them feel heard, equipped, and confident throughout the special education process. Our goal is simple: to help your child succeed, and to give you a trusted advocate every step of the way.
Taking the first step can be hard, but it’s a powerful one — and you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s take that first step together.
