Diagnosis rate within two visits

Agencies
Foster care caseworkers and child welfare agencies who need neurodevelopmental assessments before placement or custody decisions.
What families say after.
"After three years of pediatrician appointments where everyone said he'd "catch up," Milestone gave us an actual answer in two visits. The report was so detailed that his school immediately approved an IEP. I wish we hadn't waited so long."
Margaret D.
Mother of a 7-year-old, referred by school psychologist
"As a foster care caseworker, I've worked with a dozen evaluation clinics. Milestone is the only one that turns around reports in time for placement hearings and writes them in language a judge can actually read. That matters enormously."
Jerome Watkins
Senior Caseworker, County Child Welfare Services
"The feedback session alone was worth everything. Dr. Patel sat with us for an hour and explained every single score. For the first time I understood what my daughter's brain was doing — not just what was "wrong" with her."
