The address to the office is 1554 S Sepulveda Blvd office #202. The entrance is on Massachusetts Ave. You will go up the middle staircase and you’ll see the first door to the office on the right. When you open that door, you’ll see another staircase and the office is the first door on the right. If you’re early and the door is open, feel free to come on in. If the door is shut, we will come out to get you at your scheduled time.
The Assessment
The assessment is about an hour long and goes into feeding history to understand mealtimes/behaviors currently. We assess oral motor skills so we’d love to observe a snack or an “easy” food. We encourage you to eat or offer food the way it is typically done (with videos/Ipad). We are also interested in seeing a “medium” challenge food to explore feelings/behaviors around those foods – with no obligation to eat it. If mealtime is very stressful or it is difficult eating outside of the home, bringing in a video would be helpful.
As long as it is not too distressing, we are interested in seeing what refusal looks like (if variety is a goal). No need to bring in large portions. There is some food in the office and we can use that as well. There is a microwave and an air fryer that can used to warm things up
