This includes people who have a record of such an impairment, even if they do not currently have a disability. It also includes people who do not have a disability but are regarded as having a disability. The ADA also makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person based on that person’s association with a person with a disability., but this life event brought it really close to home.
Soon after they were born, Tammy met a lady Mona who had a son with severe special needs. They became close friends, and Mona introduced her to many amazing people and kids in the community who had different abilities. They traveled to conferences, established special needs camps for kids and did advocacy work together in the community, while Tammy also provided direct service care to Mona’s son. In more recent years, they held quarterly RespiteShort-term care for a child or adult that allows the primary caregiver relief. events and Spring Dances for the community.
Mona was hired by Moms in Motion, then recruited Tammy to join the team in 2013 as her Administrative Assistant. Tammy has since moved into a group admin position, and then advanced to the Team Lead for the MCO Over 21 Team in 2017. Tammy enjoys working with her team to help ensure the families they serve get the services and approvals that are needed.

Tamatha H.
Tamatha and her husband were welcomed into the “world of disability” when their third child was born with a rare genetic mutation. As a result, he remains in a newborn mental state with no physical control. Only given two to four years to live, he has now lived years beyond that estimate. Tamatha and her husband are absolutely blessed to have him in the family, but the impact has been tremendous. Each family member has had to make lifestyle changes as a result. Through it all, Tamatha has worked hard to help her family find and maintain “a new normal.”
This everyday experience has given Tamatha the ability to help extended family and friends when they have faced the disability of a loved one. She has had the opportunity to share her experiences and provide comfort and compassion throughout her community. Tamatha is excited to be working for Moms In Motion. She hopes to help many others who are facing a disability to thrive as they find their own “new normal.”
