For the past two decades, occupational therapist Danielle Williams has helped students in our district develop the skills they need to fully participate in their school day. In her role at Tonawanda Elementary School, she works with students to strengthen fine motor, visual motor, self-care and functional classroom skills so they can access learning, engage in daily routines and build independence in the school environment.
Williams is known for her dedication, patience and compassion. Her work has transformed the lives of countless students, empowering them to succeed in the classroom and everyday life.
In the words of Christa Young, assistant superintendent of pupil services, “Danielle's creativity and adaptability allow her to turn everyday school activities into opportunities for growth and achievement for the students she serves.”
Williams says it has been a privilege to collaborate with her colleagues and celebrate the successes of her students over the years.
Join us in thanking her for 20 years of commitment and impact on the Tonawanda school community.
Congratulations!
