This summer Trellis partnered with Vocational Rehabilitation counselors at Oregon Commission for the Blind (OCB) in participation with their Summer Work Experience Program (SWEP). SWEP provides opportunities for high school-age students to gain real-world work experience with local businesses, learn transferable skills, complete job specific tasks and increase on-the-job skills. Trellis Job Coaches worked closely with the participants to provide support, on-the-job guidance and even transportation to and from their jobs.

Our dedicated Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) provide individualized care and attention for our clients, including door-to-door transportation to and from events in our community program. DSPs also assist clients with more general activities, like visiting the library or going to the store.

“I find great joy watching them interact with the community and broader society,” Trellis Field Supervisor and DSP John says. “I can come to work every day and make noticeable improvements in their daily lives. This keeps me motivated, too.”

The impact of opportunity can be truly life-altering — especially for those who have felt limited by the challenges of a society that doesn’t feel built for them. At Trellis, we believe there’s a place for everyone, both in employment and in the community. We’re committed to transforming the lives of our clients by helping them find meaningful career options as well as through working toward integration within their own communities.

Trellis isn’t your average vocational rehabilitation-focused organization — we provide multiple services for our clients in a holistic approach, going beyond just employment placement by offering 20+ community activities a month for our clients, from cooking classes to yoga, bowling, trips to the zoo, park picnics and more.

We believe that both these branches are important to empowering clients and helping them navigate toward success in their own lives. Read more at https://trellis-or.com/door-to-door-transport/

We have so much fun curating our Community Activities at Trellis — picking engaging events that allow our clients to work on social skills as well as other skills like bowling, dancing and cooking. We organize trips to the zoo and aquarium and host picnics and game days too, facilitating every part of the process, from door to door.

These services are complementary to our employment services, promoting a holistic, wraparound approach to empowering our clients. Learn more about our community activities at trellis-or.com/communityservices!

Our guiding tagline at Trellis is Navigating Paths to Success.

It's a simple phrase, but a powerful one. Navigation means we're constantly checking on where our clients are on their paths, making big changes when needed or small adjustments that add up meaningfully over time. Our framework for putting clients on the right trajectory is structured, but we approach challenges with creativity.

We know that getting the fit just right for our clients is so important.

The Autism Society of Oregon is hosting an online Intersectional Identity Support & Discussion Group! 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

(Online) Intersectional Identity Group - Support and Discussion Group for Autistic Adults with Intersectional Identities, age 18+
Monday Feb 3, 2025 ⋅ 1:30pm – 3pm (Pacific Time - Los Angeles)
Meets online every Monday, from 1:30 to 3:00 pm.

The purpose of this group is to cultivate a safe space to process and discuss what it’s like to have an intersectional autistic identity in the world (e.g., autistic people who are also: people of color, trans, q***r, gender q***r, assigned female at birth, etc).

Please note, this is not to assume that we will all understand each other's experience, but that we do understand having an intersectional identity comes with extra complexities.

This is a peer support group facilitated by an Autistic Trans and Q***r person.

Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMocOGqrToqGNWlMSQXMF7PNc2wxmB5T6xr

For more information, contact Lori Ball at [email protected] or 503-636-1676.

These support groups are intended to create a safe environment for Autistic adults, whether formally diagnosed or not. If you do not identify as Autistic, kindly do not join this group.
