“There are so many highlights from this experience. First, being a part of the first cohort of a program that will make waves in the therapy community is an honor. The DIR and Star certification courses are the most important courses I have ever taken. Connecting with so many Ivy teammates is truly priceless. We all have experienced this together, will always be connected, have strengthened our services and brand, and will be a industry leader because of this program. It doesn’t get more Ivy than that! #OneIvy #Igotmyteam” – Amanda Teusch, COTA, Komoko, IN
