Childhood is filled with milestones.
Milestones was created by an occupational therapist with a vision to support all children in reaching their full potential using a more natural, play-based approach.
Discover a more customized and comprehensive approach to enhancing your child's development and growth.
We are an occupational therapist-owned business, offering traditional pediatric therapy services as one of many options to provide a more wholistic approach to supporting child growth & development. We offer different levels of services using a customized, client-centered approach, including family-focused developmental groups led by therapy professionals, small therapeutic groups in a naturalistic setting, & individual, client-centered therapy intervention. We use an integrative approach with services provided by occupational, music, & yoga therapy professionals.
Put simply, children grow & learn best through their primary and most important occupation of play & other naturally, motivating developmental opportunities. Our mission is to provide this exposure in a nurturing and professionally supported environment, while also empowering caregivers. We are available to deliver more intensive therapy services for those children who require that level of intervention, but our goal is to quickly get them back to a more natural and less invasive approach.
