AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. *Knowing your child's strengths and needs begins with one calm, structured step — and it's simpler to access than many parents expect.* ## In short You access the **AbilityScore®** by booking an appointment at any [Pinnacle Blooms Network centre](/), where a qualified clinician administers it in person as part of your child's developmental assessment. It is not an app, an online quiz or a self-test — it is a clinician-led, structured evaluation that produces a clear profile of your child's abilities across developmental areas. From that profile, the team shapes a therapy plan tailored to your child. ## How to access it, step by step - **Reach out** — contact a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre by phone, WhatsApp or through [pinnacleblooms.org](/) to request a developmental assessment. You don't need a referral or a diagnosis to begin. - **Book your visit** — you'll be guided to a centre convenient for you (70+ centres across 4 states) and given a time that suits your family. - **Meet the clinician** — at the centre, a qualified clinician spends time with your child and with you, gathering history and observing development. The AbilityScore® is administered here, as a [structured clinician assessment](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated). - **Understand the profile** — the clinician explains your child's strengths and areas needing support in plain language, and answers your questions. - **Begin the plan** — if therapy is recommended, you'll be guided into the right pathway, such as [speech therapy](https://www.pinnacleblooms.org/top-speech-therapy-center-india-proven-improvement-rate), and progress is reviewed over time. There is nothing to prepare or fear. The most useful thing you can bring is your everyday knowledge of your child — how they play, communicate, move and connect. ## Why it's done in person The AbilityScore® draws its accuracy from a trained clinician observing your child directly and combining that with your insights as a parent. That human, structured judgement — informed by Pinnacle's research base of 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions — is what makes the profile precise and the plan personal. No online form can replace seeing your child in the room. ## The Pinnacle way AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
