Overview

Trellis Services http://trellisservices.com/ a Learn It Family of Companies division http://www.learnitsystems.com, is a progressive and innovative agency designed to provide therapeutic interventions tailored to children with autism. The Trellis School’s educational program is designed to build strong foundational communication, learner readiness, academic, social and play skills in young learners with autism and other language related disorders. The Trellis School incorporates the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with a focus on B.F. Skinner’s Analysis of Verbal Behavior (VB). The program captures a learner’s motivation in order to teach and reinforce new skills. Because the effects of autism can be difficult for children, a school environment specifically for children with autism can offer services beyond the scope of special education in public schools.
