Tracey Ellis, OTR/L, MPH

Founder and CEO

Tracey Ellis, founder of International Diagnostic Solutions, is a licensed occupational therapist and a board certified disability analyst. Her interest in research led to her participation in a large-scale brain injury research program with Henry M. Jackson Foundation, analyzing the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation. Following this work, Tracey’s interests in access to healthcare and health/educational resources led to her research with the Centers for Health Services Research and Policy, focused on national healthcare coverage for children.

In 2000, Tracey launched Ellis Therapeutic Consultants (ETC), a Washington, D.C. based company serving the children and families of the nation’s capitol. ETC has provided therapeutic intervention and consultation to hundreds of children with learning disabilities and developmental delays, and continues to provide program development and support to educational programs throughout the city.

In addition to directing the efforts of her two companies, Tracey serves on the District of Columbia Licensing Board for the Department of Health Professional Licensing, as well as the board of Boulder Crest Retreat for Wounded Warriors. Tracey is a volunteer consultant for the Ridewell Program, a therapeutic horseback riding program for wounded veterans in the D.C. area, and served for six years on the Executive Board of the DC Occupational Therapy Association, and for four years as one of the DC representatives to the American Occupational Therapy Association Representative Assembly.

Tracey received her degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of New Hampshire, and a Master’s Degree in Public Health from George Washington University, specializing in Maternal and Child Health. Since completing her fieldwork at Georgetown University Child Development Center, Tracey has provided evaluation and treatment services, expert testimony, and university lectures/workshops in the field of pediatrics and private practice for 18 years.
