Consultative Services

Trellis provides home ABA programs with a focus on Skinner's analysis of Verbal Behavior. The VB methodology captures and contrives a learner's motivation to teach new skills. Learners expand their play and language skills through Natural Environment Teaching. Effective Teaching Procedures are utilized to maintain a reinforcing environment so that learners truly enjoy instruction. The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (ABLLS-R) is used as an assessment, curriculum, and skills tracking guide in these programs. Trellis has created a training program to ensure family members and instructors master teaching procedures quickly and effectively. All curricular and training materials are inclusive and comprehensive.

Consultants work within a team structure in order to design comprehensive Verbal Behavior home programs. Team members may include the family, the instructors, school professionals and related service professionals. Consultants provide services that include: assessment and program design, family/instructor training, school observations, training outside professionals, assistance with writing IEP goals, and writing a Behavior Intervention Plan when needed.
