Parent Training
The structure of parent training should aim to balance the caregiver's concerns with the child's ability to perform. Mylestone staff strives to understand, reflect and empathize with the individual needs of caregivers. A core component of the parent training program also adheres to the Behavioral Skills Training Model (BST) developed by Miltenberger (2003). Parent training sessions will be conducted in all of the following categories: ​Indirect/ Direct Instruction • Informative Discussion without Client Present • Powerpoint Discussions on Content-Focused Skills • Direct Coaching and Modeling with Client Present utilizing Behavior Skills Training Approach • Independent Study • Handouts Demonstrating Skill Comprehension Prior to Direct Implementation • Data Collection Outside of Treatment Sessions​.​​​
Functional Behavior Assessment
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is a process to understand why a child engages in challenging behaviors. It involves gathering information to identify the underlying function or purpose of the behavior. By conducting an FBA, parents can gain insights into what triggers the behavior and how it serves a specific purpose for their child. This assessment helps parents and professionals develop effective strategies to support and address the child's needs, promoting positive behavior and reducing challenging ones.
Comprehensive (COMP)
The Early Start Comprehensive Developmental Program (COMP) is a multidisciplinaryteam that trains parents/caregivers on various activities to enhance the infant/toddler’sdevelopmental needs.

The engagement andinvolvement of the family in the treatment process are crucial to the child’s success. Early start services are provided in the child’s natural environment.

Background and History of the Company:
Mylestones Early Intervention was established in July 2022 by Nina Boling who is a Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). The founder felt the need for early intervention and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to provide high quality service for the children of San Joaquin county, and incorporate more caregiver training and navigational information.. They have been working with the autistic and developmentally disabled children since 2014. Nina has ten years of experience in the field, as well as her own personal experience with three of her children being diagnosed with ASD. The founder has submitted the proposal to the local regional center, Valley Mountain Regional Center (VMRC).
The name Mylestones derives from the name of Nina's son Myles and epitomizes the word "milestone" meaning an act or event that causes a significant change or symbolizes an important stage of decline. Myles benefited greatly from his early interventions and lecture activities, the impact of which is evident throughout his life. He proactively received early intervention services by spotting signs of delay, and his active participation in all training significantly improved the well-being of his family as a whole. In parallel, Mylestones strives to increase understanding, awareness, commitment to service, and resilience to challenges within the company, working together toward achievable life-enhancing goals for the company and families.

The expected outcome of service is improvement and increase in all domains of at least 5% more based on the accepted measurement tool deemed by the Valley Mountain Regional Center (VMRC).
