Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy and Consultation Services
Like a trellis for a vine, we provide the structure, support, and nurturing necessary to help our clients reach new heights everyday.
Our Mission
Trellis Behavior and Learning Solutions is a group of ABA therapy providers who are committed to improving the lives of children with communication, social, and behavioral difficulties. Our providers use empirically-validated behavioral treatment strategies to help each child reach his or her greatest potential.
At Trellis, we fully embrace the growth mindset. We believe that with the right teaching strategies, supports, practice, and motivation, skills can be cultivated and learned over time; and a diagnosis, label, or current skill deficit does not set a limit on a child's potential. We strive to develop motivation, self-esteem, and a love for learning with a positive, encouraging, and fun-filled approach.
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis utilizes the principles of learning and behavior to reduce problem behaviors and teach new skills that result in an improvement in the quality of life for children and their families. Some of the skills that ABA can address include communication skills, social skills, coping skills, daily living skills, toileting skills, motor skills, attending skills, and cooperative learning skills.
Services
Home, School, and Community-based ABA Therapy Services
Bringing ABA to You
Trellis was founded as a community-based organization, meeting the needs of families and children wherever they are. Therapy services in the child's natural environment provide more opportunities for parents and teachers to directly observe the application of ABA strategies and can also help with generalization of skills across settings.
Clinic-based Services
Trellis Therapy Center
Clinic-based services provide an opportunity for your child to receive intensive 1:1 therapy sessions or participate in social learning groups with peers. Our play-based therapy areas also provide opportunities for natural environment teaching, socialization, and generalization training.
Consultation and Training Services
Teaching You the Science of ABA
Consultation and training services for parents and school staff are typically a part of our treatment plans for children receiving direct therapy services. In some cases, barriers such as scheduling, funding, or geographic location prevent a family from being able to access direct therapy services. In these cases, parents or school staff may elect to receive training and consultation from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst so that they may implement ABA strategies themselves. Prior to providing consultation and training services, we will conduct an assessment and develop a plan with specific goals and strategies that you will be trained to implement. After the initial training phase, we provide on-going consultation for feedback, problem-solving, and program updates.
