Milestones
Concerned about your child's development? Milestones serves families with children birth to age three (3) throughout Middle Tennessee, as an independent evaluation agency.
As Tennessee’s Early Intervention System (TEIS) receives referrals from agencies or individuals with concerns about a child’s development, a Milestones evaluator schedules a visit with the family to conduct a developmental evaluation.
