OUR STORY

Brenn and Suzanne (Zan)  met in 2007 working at a school for children with autism. The two worked at the same companies from 2007-2014, when Zan left to pursue their own vision and mission for working with children in the autism community.  Zan's partner, Angela, had recently received their MBA and together the two founded Whole Child Behavioral Interventions,  a new type of ABA company with the primary goal of providing behavioral intervention services for children and their families through a holistic approach, collaborating with others to improve overall outcomes.

Shortly after, Brenn ventured out and starting their own company, Developmental Pathways. Both Brenn and Suzanne were working tirelessly to ensure they were providing high quality services and dedicated their practices to assuring as much access to care as they could each, individually, provide.
​
A few years after both starting their own companies, Brenn, Zan, and Angela began discussing the possiblity of combining forces, The rest is history. Since 2018, Brenn, Zan, and Angela have been working together under the name Whole Child Behavioral Interventions. Brenn dissolved her company, Developmental Pathways and joined WCBI's mission to provide the best possible care to the autism community and provide access to services to as many children as possible. 
​
Between them, they have 4 kids ages 11 to 15.
