Happy People

  I am a first-grade teacher in Davis School District.  In the 15 years I have witnessed unwavering dedication and compassion exhibited by the team of incredible teachers, who are guided by Nichole Burris. Nichole has not only raised autism awareness in our school, but she has also provided invaluable support and resources to me and the other general educators who are willing to seek her advice. Nichole’s commitment to the families navigating the complexities of autism is truly commendable. She is one of the most honest, kind people that I have ever met. Her understanding and of inclusivity, social communication difficulties, sensory sensitivities and other potential struggles is making a profound difference not only in the lives of her students and their families…but also in the lives of my students. Nichole has helped me to become a better teacher! She is a beacon of hope and a champion for the autism community. I would without question recommend Nichole Burris to any of my friends or family.

​I had the opportunity of working alongside Nichole in the classroom for many years. She has dedicated her career to the field of Autism. I can attest to her commitment, exceptional skills, and compassionate approach to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals with autism.
Nichole has a rare combination of expertise and empathy that sets her apart. I have witnessed Nichole approach each student with enthusiasm, creativity, and potential for growth. She also has an ability to build meaningful connections with both the children she serves as well as their families. She has a gift for creating an environment of support, trust, and inclusion. She goes above and beyond to involve families in the educational process ensuring a united approach.
In reflecting on our years of working together, I am struck by Nichole’s resilience, patience, and genuine love for the work she does. Her positive influence on the lives of those she serves is immeasurable and I am confident that she will continue to make lasting contributions to the world of autism.
