Founder

Dariyn Olas, BCBA, MBA

Hi! I'm Dariyn Olas, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) Certified Therapist specializing in toddler intervention and Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs). PlayPath was inspired by the frameworks and strategies I use every day to help young children build skills through the types of play they already enjoy.

I'm Christian, the Technical Lead and Co-Founder of PlayPath. With almost a decade of software engineering experience specializing in modern web applications, mobile platforms, and interactive digital interfaces, I bring to PlayPath a passion for building tools that are both fun and functional. With a wife who practices occupational therapy and 2 young children of my own, I know PlayPath will be able to provide valuable information to parents and caregivers looking to support their child's communication development.
