Ask any staff member about the Milestones mission, and they will tell you fairly easily: to educate and support diverse learners and families through evidence-based practices. To better understand the Milestones philosophy, you can read about how it all began on our website. It started by addressing a largely unfulfilled need amongst CT families for autism resources and grew into an organization of highly trained, passionate professionals who are always looking for new ways to grow and help families achieve results. Milestones isn’t simply a school or an evaluation center. We are driven to advance the field of Behavioral Analysis by cultivating new practitioners and educating others about the field. When we see a need arise, we learn how to address it, then train our employees to become experts at doing so. These dedicated staff members work across multiple locations, including our 3 state-of-the-art facilities, in a public school setting or in the community to provide individualized behavior analytic programming and consultative services. We can even provide advanced intervention services for individuals with intensive behavior challenges. In addition, we provide mentorship to those seeking certification as a BCBA or BCaBA. We also provide education and training to the wider community including educators, doctors, dentists, first responders, and many others.
