About Traina Behavioral
Care built around who your child is.
We're a privately owned, BCBA-led ABA practice founded by Allison Traina in 2009 with a mission to provide high-quality, individualized care that helps children and families make meaningful, lasting progress. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practice, compassionate collaboration, and the belief that effective ABA should be tailored to each child's unique strengths, needs, and goals.
Therapy should fit the child, not the other way around.
Allison Traina founded Traina Behavioral in 2009 so therapy could show up in daily life, with the learner, family, and treatment team working together.
- Shaped around the individual learner
- Families are part of the process
- Skills that matter outside of therapy, too
At a glance
No two children are the same. Their programs shouldn't be either.
Every child and family is unique, so every program is built around their strengths, interests and goals.

Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Allison founded Traina Behavioral in 2009 on the belief that ABA should make a real difference in a learner's everyday life, in partnership with the people who know them best.
She has more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, and she has studied further at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
We believe that the ability to learn is limitless, never-ending and for everyone.
Learning should feel positive, personal, and possible.
Learning can be fun
It doesn't have to feel like work to be meaningful.
Every child is unique
Programs are individualized to each child and family.
Skills that matter
Functional skills that help learners and families in everyday life.
Every learner deserves a voice
Communication and self-advocacy matter.
Families are part of the team
The learner, family and treatment team work together.
The heart of Traina hasn't changed.
Traina has grown since 2009, but the belief behind the practice remains the same: see the individual, listen to the family, build skills that matter. Today, Traina continues to provide individualized ABA support to learners and families across Pennsylvania and New Jersey while remaining a privately owned, BCBA-led practice.
Every child's story is different. Their support should be too.
Whether you already know you're looking for ABA therapy or you're still trying to understand your options, our team is here to listen, answer your questions and help you find a clear next step.
No pressure. Just a conversation about your child and what your family is looking for.
