Our story
An agency built from lived experience.
Achievable Milestones isn’t just another early intervention agency. It was founded by a special educator and ABA therapist who, after years working in the field, became a parent navigating EI for her own child. That dual perspective shapes everything we do.
The story
From the clinician’s chair to the parent’s chair — and back.
Long before opening Achievable Milestones, our founder spent years as a special educator and ABA therapist working with young children across New York. She knew the EI system from the inside — the IFSPs, the home visits, the coordination between agencies and counties. She thought she understood it.
Then she became a parent. And then her own child needed Early Intervention services.
Even with a clinician’s training, she found herself on the other side of the evaluation table — facing the same long phone calls, the same unfamiliar rhythms of the system, the same moments of being talked at instead of with. What she discovered is that no amount of professional knowledge fully prepares you for being a parent in those rooms.
That experience changed how she thought about this work. She remembered which providers made her family feel seen, and which ones left her feeling like a case file. She carried a quiet question with her: what if an agency was built around the way families actually wanted to be treated — by people who truly understood both sides?
Achievable Milestones is the answer to that question.
What makes us different
Built around families, not paperwork.
We've been the family
Our founder has sat in your seat. We know what it feels like to be the parent in the evaluation room, and we communicate accordingly — no jargon, no rush, no assumptions.
In-home, on your schedule
We come to your child's most natural environment — your living room, daycare, or wherever they feel most themselves. We work around your family's rhythm, not the other way around.
A team that actually communicates
Your child's therapists work together. We share notes, coordinate strategies, and update you regularly. You'll never feel like you're the messenger between specialists.
Credentialed, careful, kind
Every provider is fully NYS-licensed and credentialed for early intervention. But credentials are the floor — we hire for warmth, patience, and genuine love of this work.
Our philosophy
How we approach this work.
Children develop in relationships.
The best therapy isn't done to a child — it's done with them, in the context of the people they love. That's why we coach families alongside the child, every session.
Parents are the experts on their child.
We bring clinical training. You bring 24/7 knowledge of who your child is. We treat that knowledge as the most important data we have.
Progress isn't linear.
Some weeks bring leaps. Some weeks bring quiet plateaus. We celebrate both, and we don't treat slow weeks as failure.
Information is power.
We explain everything — what we're doing, why, and what to watch for. You should never feel like the EI process is a black box.
Where we serve
Across the metro New York area.
Our therapists travel throughout the five boroughs of NYC, Nassau County on Long Island, and Westchester County. Wherever your family lives, we likely have a credentialed provider nearby.
