Our Approach to Pediatric Therapy

Assess/Evaluate

We start by assessing areas where your child is having difficulty. Your child’s therapy specialist will perform an evaluation and discuss their findings with you.

Plan

Your child’s therapist will develop a treatment plan with you that includes engaging activities to do at home. This plan also integrates GAS goals, episodic care, and family education.

Educate

Your role as a caregiver & compliance with your child’s home program are extremely important for success. Education is an essential part of our approach.

Keeping It Fun

Pediatric Therapy services are sometimes challenging. They require effort from your child. We believe in making therapy as enjoyable as possible.

Before finalizing your Pediatric Therapy program, we learn about your child’s interests to discover what motivates them. Games and activities that keep them engaged have been shown to increase cooperation and making therapy easier—on you and your child.

Your child has unique needs. We want to create a program that suits them exactly. To do this, we:

Attentively assess and evaluate your child’s needs
Keep communication open and direct
Set goals specific to your child that are inclusive of your family goals
Design a program to make those goals attainable

…because the little things add up.

Episodic Care

At Milestone, we use episodic care when creating treatment plans for your kids. This means we create a specific timeframe (e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12 months) to structure your child’s GAS goals around, forcing everyone on the caregiving team to focus on treatment in the areas needed.

Our goal is to induce positive change in a timely fashion. That’s why you come to us. Not to have us do the same thing everyone else did before us and hope for a different result.

And when we reach the end of our episode – we re-evaluate. Are we ready to graduate? Or are there other deficits we need to address? From there we move forward in lockstep with our families, knowing that we’re all accountable for your child’s progress.

GAS Rating Scale

We use the GAS Goal concept (Goal Attainment Scale) at Milestone to create specific, measurable, and functional goals for your child.

GAS goals, built in layman’s terms, allow us to easily evaluate change over time and quickly allow us to see what is and is not working with ongoing treatment plans so changes can be made in a timely fashion. Developed with family input, this system will ultimately help all to stay focused on things that allow your child to gain independence and participate in family routines.

Home Programming

As with all our disciplines, it is imperative to have the commitment and support of the family throughout the therapy process, which is why home programming is a staple of any successful outcome at Milestone Therapy Services. This home programming will educate and reinforce specific skills and behaviors, which will be used to improve and facilitate the child’s performance and long-term functioning.
