Choose a therapy centre with qualified, registered clinicians, an assessment-first approach, a written and measurable plan, transparent fees and warm, parent-partnered care. Any diagnosis and a clinical AbilityScore are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.

*Choosing a therapy centre can feel overwhelming — but a few clear questions help you spot the place that will truly help your child grow.*

## In short
The right therapy centre is one with **qualified, registered clinicians**, a clear **assessment-first** approach, a written plan you can follow at home, and honest, measurable progress updates. Look for warmth and respect for your child, transparency about goals and fees, and a team that treats you as a partner — not just a visitor. Trust your instinct: the best centre listens to you and explains everything in plain language.

## What to look for
**The people**
- Therapists with recognised qualifications — for India, look for **RCI-registered** professionals (Rehabilitation Council of India).
- A multidisciplinary team — speech, occupational, behavioural and developmental support under one roof, working together.

**The process**
- A structured assessment **before** any therapy begins, so the plan fits your actual child.
- Clear, written goals and a way to measure progress over time — not vague promises.
- Parent coaching, so the gains continue at home and in everyday life.

**The signs of a trustworthy centre**
- Honest about timelines — no one can promise a "cure" or guarantee a date.
- Transparent fees and session structure, given to you in writing.
- Your child is treated with patience and dignity, and you feel welcome to observe and ask questions.

## The Pinnacle way
Any diagnosis and a clinical **AbilityScore®** are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from a phone call or a form. With **70+ centres across 4 states**, **700+ therapists** and **4.95 lakh+ families served**, we begin every journey the same way: a structured assessment, then a plan you can actually follow.

**Next step —** The clearest way to judge a centre is to experience its assessment. [Book a developmental assessment at a Pinnacle centre](https://www.pinnacleblooms.org/enroll-autism-speech-aba-therapies-india).

This is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
