Trellis Services

Trellis Services was founded in 2001 by Kathy Niager, Ph.D.

Our mission is to create a caring and supportive environment where children with autism can learn, grow, and thrive, using applied behavior analysis (ABA) to develop essential skills while partnering closely with families to foster meaningful progress and With over twenty years of experience in the field of developmental disabilities, Dr. Niager embarked on a mission to establish Trellis as an inn

ovative and progressive agency that provides comprehensive services for children with autism and related communication disorders. Building upon our foundation as a Maryland Autism Waiver provider, over the years Trellis has expanded its services to include consultative home-based therapy, early intervention and educational services, after school programs in three locations, outpatient speech, language, and occupational therapies, social skills programs, and individual counseling. By combining state-of-the-art facilities and highly trained and qualified professionals, Trellis has become a pioneer within the autism community in Maryland. It is our visionary spirit that has enabled us to transform Trellis into a well-established and well-respected agency, and it is our passion and dedication to providing the highest standards of care that continue to enable us to exceed our clients’ expectations.

Warm weather ☀️ often means more time around pools, sprinklers, and backyard water play, which also makes it a good time to revisit a few helpful safety habits.

In this episode of the All Autism Talk Podcast, Dr. Molly O’Shea, MD, a parenting expert with over 30 years of experience and a partner with Goldfish Swim School, joins us to talk through realistic, everyday approaches to water safety that fit into family life. From sharing supervision 👀 through simple systems to choosing swim instruction 🏊 that meets each child where they are, she offers guidance that feels doable and supportive.

She also touches on how swim lessons can be especially helpful for children with autism and other neurodivergent children, supporting both skill building and comfort in the water at their own pace.

Ever wonder why social situations can feel so exhausting for your child? 🥱

In our newest All Autism Talk Podcast episode, Caroline Maguire breaks down the difference between adjusting to a situation and feeling like you have to hide who you are. For many neurodivergent individuals, that effort can be constant and draining in ways that aren’t always visible.

It’s a helpful reminder that comfort, self-expression, and feeling understood matter just as much as “fitting in.” ❤️
