​

Hello, my name is Adonna Bass Wickliffe and I’m the Executive Director and CEO of Milestones Services and the mother of a child with significant special needs. We have been assisting children and adults with developmental and intellectual challenges reach their full potential since 2009. We accomplish this by helping them gain appropriate levels independence in social, academic, and life skills, giving them a voice through advocacy, education and exposure and assisting them in securing meaningful employment. Our ultimate goal is to improve our clients’ quality of life by helping them reach their full potential and become respected members of their community.

 

I am a parent of a child with special needs and I entered this field because I want to raise the bar for the quality and level of services provided for our loved ones. Not only do I run an organization that serves all individuals with developmental and intellectual challenges, I also advocate for all individuals with development and intellectual challenges as well as other physical, emotional and health challenges through my leadership position on the Board of the Council on Developmental Disabilities and as a commissioner on the Board of Commissioners for the Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs. Without question, I work hard every day to build an organization that respects the individualized need of our clients, delivers high quality services and helps them live full lives as respected and valued members of their communities. I am honored that our clients and their family members trust us to provide services for them and I take that responsibility very seriously. We hope you will give us the opportunity to
