Milestone

In Early Intervention, Milestone’s experienced and licensed physical, occupational, speech-language pathologists, and special educators support parents and caregivers to improve their child’s capacity in everyday routines, focusing on the child’s interests and the family’s goals. By utilizing a coaching interaction model, therapists empower parents and caregivers to enhance the child’s development and learning. This approach builds confidence and competence, allowing families to actively participate in their child’s therapy and progress.

Therapists in School

In schools, professionals dedicated to supporting students’ academic and non-academic goals utilize skilled intervention, adaptive equipment, and/or environmental modifications to enhance academic and overall school-based performance. Additionally, they strive to maximize students’ potential. Their role is to foster improvement and provide assistance for students’ educational pursuits. Moreover our therapists also provide emotional support and help students develop social and coping skills necessary for successful participation in school and life. They work collaboratively with educators and parents to create a positive learning environment that fosters student success and well-being.

Therapists in the Clinic

We specialize in pediatric physical, occupational,  speech, and developmental, therapy services.  In the clinic, therapists work one-on-one or in a small group on specific skills to improve gross motor, fine motor, oral motor,  language, sensory processing, activities of daily living, and/or executive functioning, enhancing performance and boosting confidence. Therapists in the clinic may also work with clients to address cognitive, perceptual, and behavioral challenges that may impact overall function and quality of life. We use evidence-based practices and techniques to help students achieve their therapy goals, and may collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to care.
