Mission
The Milestone School is dedicated to addressing the cognitive, linguistic, social/emotional and physical needs of its students while recognizing that a child's educational success is dependent on a positive, ongoing home/school partnership. At Milestone School, we believe that each child is unique and is entitled to an individualized program that focuses on his/her own personal learning style and developmental readiness. The Milestone School is dedicated to meeting the developmental needs of each child by providing therapeutic and educational services in the most naturalistic and developmentally appropriate environment.| At Milestone School, we believe: |
| • Each child is unique and is entitled to an individualized program that focuses on his/her own personal learning style and developmental readiness. |
| • The adults in a child's life are to assist him/her to reach his/her fullest potential and it is the adult's responsibility to facilitate development and growth by focusing on the process of learning while fostering a love of learning. |
| • Children require consistent and clearly defined limits to help them function and interact with others in their environment. |
To this end, the Milestone School adheres to a Team Collaborative Model approach. This is the coordination and delivery of services within the daily routines of the classroom as much as possible. Following this team approach, our related service providers are frequently seen providing services inside the classroom where the children will be expected to use the skills that they are being taught. Related service providers also have the opportunity to explain and teach their techniques to classroom staff so that those techniques can be utilized throughout the child's day, not just when working with that related service provider. This significantly increases the number of practice opportunities for a new skill across the day and the week.
