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. 

Milestones clients are assigned a treatment team made up of a Head Supervisor who designs and oversees the program, works directly with the client, the ABA therapists, and the parents to ensure consistency among the team members ; a Manager who collaborates with the supervisor and ABA therapists on a weekly basis, participates in the development of assessment reports and treatment plans, works with parents and funding sources to secure and maintain funding for a child's treatment program, and coordinates schedules; and ABA Therapists who meet with the client on a daily basis to provide direct therapy.

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

After assessing a child's needs, the Head Supervisor 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.

ABA 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.
