Online therapy is a genuine, structured continuation of in-centre care — not a watered-down version — and is ideal when you live far from a centre, are travelling, are unwell, or simply need flexibility around school and family life. For many children a blended path — some sessions in-centre, some online — works beautifully.\n\n## How online therapy works at Pinnacle\n- **Live, one-to-one sessions** — your child works face-to-face with their own therapist over a secure video link, following the same individualised plan they would follow in centre.\n- **Parent as co-therapist** — the therapist coaches you in real time so the skills carry into everyday routines at home, which is often where the biggest gains happen.\n- **Play-based and engaging** — sessions use screen-friendly games, movement, songs and home objects so your child stays motivated and involved.\n- **Consistent and trackable** — progress is reviewed just as it is in centre, and your plan is adjusted as your child grows.\n- **Flexible scheduling** — easier appointment times that fit around school, siblings and work, with no travel.\n\nOnline therapy suits many goals — speech and language, social-communication, behaviour, parent coaching and follow-up reviews. Some needs (such as detailed hands-on feeding or sensory assessment, or the initial structured assessment) are best done in person, and your team will always guide you on the right mix for your child.\n\n## When in-centre is the better fit\nChoose or add in-centre sessions when your child needs hands-on oral-motor or feeding work, intensive sensory-integration equipment, or a first comprehensive assessment. Your Pinnacle clinician will recommend the blend that gives your child the most progress.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
