Family-Centered Multidisciplinary Care at Ivy Rehab for Kids | Cory Johnson

Family-Centered Multidisciplinary Care at Ivy Rehab for Kids | Kori Johnson Kori Johnson, a clinic director and occupational therapist with Ivy Rehab for Kids, explains multidisciplinary care as a family-centered approach where parents lead decision-making while PT, OT, and speech therapists contribute professional expertise with empathy, equity, and transparency. He says collaboration improves outcomes by strengthening continuity of care, modeling trust and accountability, reinforcing respect across professions, and supporting equitable access to evidence-based care by balancing research, patient values, and clinical expertise. Johnson emphasizes creating felt safety among therapists to be vulnerable, seek feedback, and adjust plans, and he stresses keeping families informed at every session or plan update. He shares three caregiver questions—what’s working, what’s missing, and where to go next—and describes Ivy’s individualized plans, national team network, and the motivating culture and long-term family relationships. 00:00 Meet Kori Johnson 00:08 Family Centered Team Care 00:45 Why Collaboration Works 01:09 Evidence Based Practice Pillars 01:43 Trust Vulnerability Wins 02:18 Keeping Families Involved 02:39 Three Caregiver Questions 02:54 What Sets Ivy Apart 03:31 Why He Loves The Work
