Vanessa Taylor

Vanessa lives with her husband Ryan, and two children on Vancouver Island. She worked in management at the RCMP before leaving work to focus on her children’s home-based ABA programs and schooling. She has become as strong advocate for equitable education for children with disabilities. She has also provided a well-informed indigenous perspective in the communication with MCFD regarding the claw-back of Individualized Funding. “To this day there is still significant prejudice, racism and discrimination and try to find a balance between the past, present, and future and discovery, healing and advocacy.”
