169: Triple Delight: When a Certified OT, RD and CLC is Treating PFD

First Bite: A Speech Therapy Podcast

Guest: Bianca Roe, OTD, OTR/L, RDN, LDN, CLC - Bianca Roe is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and Clinical Pediatric Registered Dietitian, and has almost a whole alphabet worth of letters behind her name! She is a certified OTD, OTR/L, RDN/LDN, and CLC working in the PFD space and we have her on the show today to unpack exactly what that means, how she made her way into this unique role, and why it is important to look beyond your immediate field and work to improve your practice and care. In our conversation with Bianca, we talk about the basics of what she does, looking at what the job of a registered dietician entails, and contrasting that with the role of a nutritionist. We also talk about her desire to become a qualified occupational therapist along with her work in feeding. She also talks about switching hats and how she knows when to step into which role. We get to tackle the subject of interprofessional learning, and how beneficial this can be to your expertise and the care that you provide, so to hear all this from a young powerhouse, who we cannot wait to have back on the podcast again, listen in!
