Legacy & Recognition
In celebration of 20 years of Milestones, a Cleveland-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of autistic individuals, Nancy Schwartz-Katz was invited to create artwork honoring founders Ilana Hoffer-Skoff and Mia Buchwald Gelles. Founded to provide “autism strategies for life,” Milestones supports individuals, families, and professionals across the lifespan through education, coaching, and evidence-based resources for school, home, and community.
The organization holds a deeply personal place for Nancy Schwartz-Katz, who was present at its very beginning. She remembers sitting at Ilana’s kitchen table as she, Ilana, spoke about her daughter’s diagnosis and the absence of resources for families like hers. It was beginning of the idea for Milestones, and Schwartz-Katz went on to help organize the organization’s first two fundraisers.
