Her clinical foundation includes more than two decades of direct rehabilitation experience working with children and adults with neurological, orthopedic, and other complex medical conditions across a variety of healthcare settings. This breadth of clinical experience continues to inform her assessment of functional outcomes, rehabilitation needs, and the lifelong consequences of traumatic injury.
Committed to advancing the practice of life care planning, Dr. Travis founded Turning Point Life Care Planning to create an organization dedicated to clinically rigorous, individualized life care plans developed using established standards of practice and methodology. Today, she leads a practice that continues to build upon that foundation while thoughtfully expanding the practice in ways that complement its foundation in life care planning.
Beyond her forensic practice, Dr. Travis is committed to advancing the profession through leadership, education, and scholarship. She serves as a Commissioner and Editorial Board Member for the International Commission on Health Care Certification (ICHCC), has contributed to the development of professional standards in life care planning, published in the Journal of Life Care Planning, and presented nationally on life care planning, rehabilitation, and expert witness practice.
Dr. Travis has testified in more than 100 trials throughout North America and has been accepted as an expert witness in the areas of Life Care Planning, Occupational Therapy, Cost of Future Care, Functional Capacity Evaluation, and Case Management. She approaches life care planning and expert testimony as opportunities to assist the trier of fact by providing opinions based on established life care planning standards of practice and methodology, the available medical evidence, and the unique circumstances of each individual.
