Brandi Crawford
Brandi Crawford’s passion for advocating for individuals with special needs originated in her hometown of Bardstown, KY. As a high school student, Brandi spent time as a peer tutor in the classroom of an inspiring Exceptional Childhood Education teacher. This experience guided her path to helping individuals with disabilities live their best, most fulfilling, and successful lives.
Brandi graduated with honors from Bellarmine University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and with honors from the University of Louisville, receiving a Master of Arts in Psychology. Post graduation, Brandi was a founding employee of a small non-profit organization dedicated to providing behavior support services to children and families diagnosed with autism. As the demands for these services grew, Brandi assisted in the absorption of the company’s therapeutic program into that of a larger facility, providing more opportunities for families to utilize insurance and state funding for services. Brandi continues to provide behavior supports to children and adults as an independent consultant.
Brandi and her husband, Brian, have three children, and her idea of a perfect day is one that is spent outside in the warm sunshine with her family, preferably hiking or relaxing by the ocean.
