Milestones Autism Planning Tool
To commemorate our 20th anniversary, Milestones Autism Resources is thrilled to share a gift of knowledge with the community — the Milestones Autism Planning (MAP) Tool, a new groundbreaking online resource.

Designed by a team of professionals, parents and autistic individuals, the MAP is a content-rich guide created to support you in developing skills from early childhood through adulthood. You can search by category or age range to view practical strategies and tips for every age and stage.

With the MAP as a resource, parents and individuals can confidently approach everyday life issues, with 24/7 access to information and advice on how to navigate each new step. Professionals, share the MAP to complement your services with this incredible resource.

A special highlight of this new tool is a curated, prioritized checklist of adult independent living skills that any parent or caregiver can easily use to support a loved one in their development.

Tell Congress we need funding for disability services now!
Many people with disabilities rely on Medicaid home and community-based services for everyday activities, like employment supports, getting around the community, dressing, bathing, taking medication, and much more—but there isn’t enough money in the program to support everyone, resulting in too many gaps in care and years-long waiting lists.

But Congress has the power to change this!
We need legislation now that includes funding for home and community-based services, so people with disabilities can get the care they need.


Members of Congress need to hear from as many of us as possible right now.

Take action now to remind your elected officials what’s at stake in this crucial moment and why we need a historic investment in funding for disability services now!
