Ilana Hoffer Skoff and Mia Buchwald Gelles

Celebrating 20 Years of Supporting the Community!

Milestones began 20 years ago when Ilana Hoffer Skoff and Mia Buchwald Gelles met in their children's speech therapist's waiting room. Their search for resources for their own children led to the founding of Milestones. When 400 people showed up to the first conference, they knew they had struck a chord.

Today Milestones is a trusted local and national resource and thought leader. We reach thousands of families and professionals throughout Northeast Ohio with our services and as a national leader in autism education through our annual conference and the resources on our website, including the new Milestones Autism Planning (MAP) tool.
