Meet Our Team  

Chief Executive Officer

Founder of ABA Helps, Dina Gray, is a special-needs mother who left her executive corporate career to care for her family, particularly for her daughter Emilia, who was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 18 months.  

Over the course of her journey raising a special-needs child, Dina longed for the resources necessary to help her bridge the gap between home, school, and community for her daughter. As a result, ABA Helps was founded with the mission to support families, hand in hand, as they navigate through their own Autism journeys. 

It is Dina's hope that as a family striving to help families, ABA helps will provide hand-in-hand guidance, hope, and make significant and meaningful changes to your loved one's life.
