Milestones’ senior staff members have extensive training and years of direct experience teaching children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. An individual must have a minimum of five years experience working in the field of autism implementing ABA programs before they are considered for a supervisory position. 

Each Milestones client is assigned a treatment team made up of a Director who designs and oversees the client’s program; if appropriate, a Manager who assists in supervising the program; and Therapists who meet with the child on a daily basis.  

It is our belief that in order to develop effective treatment programs, Directors must work hands-on with their clients, not only observe staff-client interactions. 

Directors hold a Masters in Psychology, Special Education, or a related field and have a minimum of five years experience in the field of autism.  

After assessing a child's needs, the Director sets goals and objectives for the child, designs a curriculum that will meet those goals, supervises and provides ongoing training for the child's treatment team, consults and provides direct training to the parents, works directly with the child, and updates the child's treatment program as needed.

Therapists, at minimum, have completed college-level coursework in Special Education, Psychology, or a related field, though most Milestones therapists have completed their Bachelors degrees.  Therapists work one-on-one with clients, implementing treatment programs through a series of therapeutic activities outlined by the program director.
