Kadiant Partners with Pathfinder Progress


Kadiant, a mission-driven organization that provides high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and related services to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), announced today it has partnered with Pathfinder Progress (Pathfinder). Kadiant's partnership with Pathfinder marks the company's sixth investment and expands its services into the Midwest. Terms of the partnership are not being disclosed.

Pathfinder was founded in 2014 by Dr. Tracy Guiou and Elizabeth Henry to meet the growing need for services in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding communities.

The Pathfinder team recognizes how the tapestry of need changes at different developmental stages, and tailors each client's treatment plan to meet their individual needs in community, home and school settings.

"Partnering with Kadiant will allow us to expand and accelerate our services to meet the rapidly growing needs of our clients and their families, as well as enhance the professional opportunities available for our current and future team members," said Elizabeth Henry. "We are excited to join Kadiant's innovative and experienced team, and believe in their mission of enabling individuals with autism to live their absolute best lives."

"We are excited to partner with Elizabeth and Tracy, and the incredible Pathfinder team," said Lani Fritts, CEO of Kadiant. "We founded Kadiant with the purpose of creating empowered communities for our clients, families and team members. Pathfinder is an excellent organization that builds on our efforts in a meaningful way. We look forward to working together to expand Pathfinder's reach in Columbus and beyond."

Kadiant now offers ABA therapy and related services in Southern and Northern California, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Oregon and Washington.
