Our Milestone Development Center in Madurai offers specialized therapy and academic support for children facing developmental delays, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intellectual Disability (ID), and Multiple Disabilities. We believe in a holistic approach that involves the active participation of parents in their child's developmental journey.
Our Comprehensive Approach:
360-Degree Assessment: Our experienced counselors and therapists conduct a thorough evaluation of the child, including detailed discussions with parents and caregivers, and observation in familiar environments.
Individualized 12-Month Goal Sheet: Based on the assessment, we create a personalized goal sheet focusing on five key domains: Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Speech, Sensory Processing, Social Interaction, and Academic skills.
Tailored Activity Sheets: We develop specific activity sheets aligned with the individual goals, ensuring daily engagement in individual, group, and cognitive activities targeting a particular domain.
Monthly Progress Measurement: We meticulously track the child's progress on a monthly basis to identify areas of growth and potential challenges.
Progress Report and Corrective Steps: Regular reports are shared with parents, and collaborative discussions lead to necessary adjustments and corrective steps to ensure continuous development.
