Danielle also tells us the ingredients that have kept her marriage strong and her family unit thriving.   

Danielle N. Williams is the founder and CEO of STIGMA Consulting Group, LLC. She named her company STIGMA because of the stigma parents and children of disabilities face every day, which she wants to dispel.  Danielle’s passion for true inclusivity for all students with disabilities helped her to coin the slogan “potential, power, possibilities.” She believes that everyone who comes in contact with a child with a disability has the potential to help the student thrive, the power to support his or her  transformation and create endless possibilities for the child to achieve academic success.  With over 12 year’s legal experience, Danielle uses her law degree to advocate for parents and children with disabilities ensuring they receive all rights designated to them under the IDEA. As a special educator for over 15 years, Danielle has served as a teacher, administrator, coach and mentor.    Danielle’s most important role is the wife and mother of two school- aged children with disabilities who ignite her passion and resolve to guarantee students with disabilities are always treated with reverence and respect.
