Evaluation
The Milestone School offers comprehensive evaluations to children birth to age five with a suspected delay in the areas of cognitive and educational development, behavior, speech & language skills, fine motor skills, and/or gross motor skills. Children from birth to age three will be provided an evaluation through the Early Intervention program, while children transitioning from Early Intervention to Preschool Special Education and children of any preschool age will be provided an evaluation through the Committee for Preschool Special Education (CPSE).Licensed and Certified Monolingual and Bilingual (Spanish) Evaluators for Speech, Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Special Education, and Physical Therapy are available to evaluate children.
Evaluations are provided at no cost to parents/guardians as we are direct providers of the NYC Department of Education and Early Intervention agencies.
