Elevating the Narrative of Food in Therapy
It all begins with an idea.
Dr. Prewitt recently embarked on an enriching journey to Brugge, Belgium, where she was invited as a guest lecturer at the European Speech Language Association (ESLA) Conference. This unique opportunity allowed her to collaborate with international therapists and delve into diverse methods of assessing and treating communication disorders.
During her time at the conference, Dr. Prewitt delivered an insightful lecture on feeding disorders, emphasizing the profound impact of the narrative of food in clinical settings. She highlighted the importance of considering the cultural and personal significance of food when making dietary changes for patients. For Dr. Prewitt, a treatment plan should not only be clinically effective but also patient-focused, optimizing the overall experience and preserving the dignity of the individual.
Impressed by her expertise and empathetic approach, the ESLA invited Dr. Prewitt to return and host a workshop at their next biannual conference. This recognition has opened more doors for her, as other international organizations have reached out, eager to have her present on various topics that will support their professional development endeavors.
