Our Story
Traina Behavioral was founded in 2009 by Allison Traina. TBC takes a team approach to therapy. We believe that the family and the therapeutic team’s (child’s school, SLP, OT, etc) involvement in therapy is the key to a successful ABA program. We focus not just on the individual with an autism diagnosis but also on how we can work with the whole team to create a sense of balance, harmony and enhance the overall wellbeing within the family. We believe it is essential to create a unique and functional program for your child that will seamlessly carry over into the family’s daily life.
