APPRECIATION

"Sheela Ivlev is a strong public speaker, she delivers facts, data and other evidence base to enhance the content of her presentations. She is a leader in occupational therapy and her strength is in making connections and growing groups that will enhance each other’s skills and generate ideas for events. "

— BAMEOTUK Co-Founder
“Such an amazing presentation with a plethora of resources to access. I am amazed by the amount of literature presented in a respectful and informative manner. I hope this can be shared more so other practitioners can be opened to changing how we practice.”

-Workshop Participant
“The most valuable contributions she has made have been in the areas of advocacy and diversity, equity and inclusion. She spearheaded the formation of the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion Collaborative Team (EDICT). Her strengths are in gathering people together around a cause and mobilizing toward action. In her first year, she hosted one of our most well attended workshops: Anti-Racism in OT: Uprooting White Supremacy and Steps for Combating Racism in Your Practice.“

-POTAC Chair
“Sheela is a passionate occupational therapist who is always striving for excellence in providing patient care. She has worked with many people who have presented with multiple behavioral challenges, regularly weighing options and fully collaborating with clients before identifying appropriate solutions. In addition to her strong patient advocacy, Sheela is also skilled in organizing both educational and morale-boosting events for teams.”

-VA Learning Officer
“WOW. This was an amazing presentation. This was a lot of information, but definitely made me think about what I've learned throughout my life as a white female, as well as how I've been taught on fieldwork and through OT school.”

-Workshop Participant
“I attended her amazing group seminar on positive affirmations. She made me feel comfortable and secure enough for me to be vulnerable. Her words were tremendously impactful. I would highly recommend her.”

-Workshop Participant
“I attended last Saturday's group session with Sheela and just over 10 other participants - I came into it without any expectations and left with a positive, growth mindset. I enjoyed sharing our affirmations and I plan on applying the strategies I learned to my daily routine - Sheela is the best!”

-Workshop Participant
“Sheela has an amazing ability to identify a need and then find a way to meet it creatively and with all stakeholders in mind.”

-Occupational Therapist
“Thank you for the outstanding work you do for our veterans and with my team. You are the consummate professional putting patient care first above all else. Please keep up the outstanding work you are doing.”

-Department Chief
“This may be the most important topic for current and future OT to learn about.”
