A Parent’s Perspective on Advocacy in Healthcare for People with Disabilities – Closing keynote speaker Tamara Taggart learned how to be an advocate out of necessity. When her son Beckett was born with Down syndrome, healthcare providers were negative and dismissive of his potential. When her son was three years old, Tamara received life-saving surgery and a rare cancer diagnosis and the response from physicians was positive and encouraging – a stark contrast to what she heard when her beautiful baby boy was born. Words, tone and basic kindness play a huge role in healthcare, especially when it comes to conquering the discrimination of disabled people in healthcare. Tamara will share her journey to healthcare advocacy and why we must all become advocates for positive change. Tamara Taggart is a mother of three, podcast host of TELUS Talks with Tamara Taggart, and the volunteer President of Down Syndrome BC.
