Ruth Herron Ross, owner and author of the Wanna Play Program, has dedicated her life to the education of children with special needs and the autism community. Her fifteen years of education experiences, combined with her early intervention training, gave Ruth the foundation of knowledge in autism, language development, and socialization skills needed to create the Wanna Play Program.

Beth Roberts-Pacchione is the codirector of the Wanna Play Program. For the past ten years at the Pennsylvania location, she has been facilitating social skill groups and individual sessions for children ages three to seventeen. She is now beginning to counsel adults to provide therapeutic support to those parents whose children have been diagnosed with special needs.
