Claimed Profile
This provider has submitted proof of credentials and has claimed their profile.
I’m Corey Roan, the founder of Milestone Pediatric Therapy, and I’m so happy you’ve found us. We specialize in Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Physical Therapy, for children 0 – 21 years old. We help families reestablish hope and create strategies for your child’s unlimited potential.
Early on in my Occupational Therapy career, I realized this work was my mission. I found a deep passion for connecting with kids (I’m also the mom of twins!) to help them grow into their best selves. But, I saw a gap in what was being offered to families. I knew that because every family experience was so diverse that I wanted to create a more personalized approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
It can sometimes be difficult to know if a service is needed for your child. That’s why at Milestone Pediatric Therapy we offer free consultations to help guide you to the best treatment for your family. Our therapists’ goal is to get you the help you need and for your family to be empowered to make the next best choice for your child. Additionally, speaking with your doctor is also helpful to decide if therapy is needed.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with you, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon your strengths. If there are others part of your care team, the therapist may teach strategies for supporting your individualized needs at home and may recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help you thrive.
Monitor your progress. You can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure you're achieving your short and long-term goals.
Your doctor may recommend feeding therapy to help your child with their negative feelings and behaviors towards food. Feeding therapy can be a part of your existing speech and language, behavior, or occupational therapy. For example, a speech and language pathologist (SLPs) can help with chewing and swallowing related issues and an occupational therapist (OT) can help with fine motor skills related to eating. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a type of behavior therapy that will aim to improve behaviors with mealtimes and increase dietary variety and decrease unwanted behaviors such as food refusal.
