At Milestones we take the time to really listen to your concerns, talk to and observe the child directly, review the child’s records, and, at your discretion you have the option to talk with other relevant people in your child’s life. Our highly skilled and certified diagnosticians and clinicians gather pertinent information and then provide our signature DEVELOPMENTAL MAPPING™ services to determine your child’s current diagnostic profile and developmental level. Through the use of our DEVELOPMENTAL MAPPING™, we are able to create accurate diagnoses, comprehensive treatment planning, and, if desired, Milestones will provide state-of-the-art treatment at our facility.
Children develop in a logical and sequential way; the
stage previously learned is a building block for the next
stage to come. Just as children need to walk before they
can run, all developmental stages must be acquired in a general
sequential order. Developmental stages skipped, not mastered,
or learned out of sequential order can cause gaps in a child’s
development. This often happens with “rote” teaching. The
Milestones Difference is that we assess and mend
needed to fulfill developmental stages, setting the rest of the
child’s development on a better, and often, more typical
trajectory. We also focus on teaching children and their
families compensatory strategies to assist with symptom management in cases where symptoms stem from genetic or other
permanent disabilities. Ultimately, we provide the child’s family
with valuable tools to enhance the quality of the child’s life.
Another Milestones advantage is our commitment to
parent training and education. Understanding and addressing
your child’s symptoms can be very stressful for the family.
Each evaluation Milestones conducts is paired with
educational and/or therapeutic strategies that parents can
implement at home to help their child thrive. Parents and siblings have the option of participating in ongoing
support during their child’s treatment.
By partnering together, we create a strong Team.
