TESTIMONIALS
Emanuel (Manoli) Figetakis, College Student
Mrs. Williams was a big supporter of my wonderful passion and helped me in drafting my short film that was shown throughout the whole school during our Autism awareness event. The short film's name is "No One Is Normal", it’s about two students at Francis Lewis High School who have Autism and their experience in the school. Originally I had no confidence in directing this short film but as I was finishing the interviews I was like this is going to bring so much awareness to people and to this day. Through the years that I know Mrs. Williams her ability of skills and knowledge about special education, work ethic, and character that will make students feel like they are at home and want to go to school.

We have a 7-year-old son that is special needs. Going into an IEP/504 was empowering because Ms. Williams prepared us to showcase the best of our son. She was there to advocate for his services and educate his teacher and even the School Psychologist on what the best techniques would be for our child. Her private consulting services are priceless and very empowering. The school administration was not prepared for what they encountered with our initial meeting. Her knowledge and expertise was clear and known at the outset when she laid out her credentials and as a result the services that my son now receives it has helped him to grow tremendously. We feel blessed to have the support of a professional in the field rather than relying on the school alone to dictate to us as “laypeople” in academic interventions for Black boys. Thank you so much Danielle!

I was introduced to S.T.I.G.M.A. a year ago. I am so grateful for Dani and her willingness to share her vision with the world. She has brought together a network of specialists that have the ability to help navigate the special needs journey. S.T.I.G.M.A. the network has created a space for me to cry tears of frustration when facing roadblocks and tears of joy when celebrating wins. S.T.I.G.M.A. is a network that has helped us strategize and to navigate the never-ending list of to-dos. I have learned techniques that I’ve used to help all of my boys as well as my son with special needs. My family has been introduced to experts and techniques that I may not have encountered on my own.
