If you've just left the appointment with a diagnosis, a report full of acronyms and a long list of "next steps," take a breath. Almost every parent we meet has sat exactly where you are now. As Board Certified Behavior Analysts, we wrote this free guide to show you what to do first, in plain English.
It covers the first calls to make, what to ask your insurance company, and how to tell a good ABA provider from the rest. It's useful whether or not you ever call us. Get your instant free download.

Nine short sections. Read it straight through, or jump to the part you need today.
If you're holding a diagnostic report and a stack of unfamiliar acronyms, this is the guide we'd hand you.
You have a report, a few recommendations, and no clear idea which call to make first.
You're not sure what's covered, who's in-network, or how to check benefits before treatment starts, without a surprise bill later.
You want to know what a good ABA provider sounds like, and what should worry you.
Traina Behavioral is a privately owned ABA practice based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. We serve families throughout Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and Mercer and Burlington counties in New Jersey.
Every treatment program is individualized, overseen by a BCBA, and developed with parents and caregivers as active members of the clinical team. Services may be provided in center, home, school, and community settings, as clinically appropriate and available.
Privately owned. Clinically led. Individually designed.

Questions about ABA, insurance coverage, the assessment process, or current availability? You're welcome to reach out.
No. The guide is written to be useful whether or not you ever contact us. It covers public programs and insurance questions that have nothing to do with our practice.
No. Anyone can download it. If you later want to talk through ABA, insurance, or assessment, you're welcome to reach out. There's no pressure either way.
Not always. A provider can accept your insurance card and still leave you with unexpected out-of-network costs. The guide includes questions to ask about in-network status, written verification of benefits before treatment starts, and how patient responsibility is handled, including whether a provider balance-bills for the difference between charges and the insurer’s contracted allowance.
No. It's an educational guide for parents. Every child's progress and response to treatment looks different and cannot be guaranteed. Decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and insurance should be made with qualified professionals and your plan documents. ABA hours are clinical treatment hours, not daycare.
We'll use your contact details to send the guide and may follow up with additional help by email or phone. You can opt out at any time. Questions: call (215) 346-6822 or use the contact form.
