# How TherapySphere™ Measures or Tracks a Child's Progress

TherapySphere™ tracks a child's progress by anchoring every session to the clinician-set AbilityScore® baseline, then capturing structured session-level data — goal attainment, prompt levels, accuracy and generalisation — and visualising it as longitudinal trend lines at planned intervals. It is a therapist-facing clinical workflow tool that closes the measure-to-plan loop, not a diagnostic instrument; diagnosis and the clinical AbilityScore® remain clinician-administered at a centre.

*Progress in therapy should never be a feeling — it should be a measurable, re-drawable line you can show a family and a multidisciplinary team.*

## In short
TherapySphere™ tracks a child's progress by anchoring every session to the clinician-set baseline established through the AbilityScore® structured assessment, then capturing structured session-level data — goal attainment, prompt levels, accuracy, generalisation — against that baseline at planned intervals. It is the therapist-facing workspace where day-to-day therapy data is recorded, visualised over time, and turned into the next plan. It is a clinical workflow tool, not a diagnostic instrument: any diagnosis or clinical AbilityScore® is formed only by a qualified clinician at a centre.

## How the tracking works
TherapySphere™ operationalises measurement across the therapy lifecycle rather than as a single snapshot:

- **Baseline-anchored goals.** Each therapy goal is linked to the child's AbilityScore® baseline domains, so every later data point is compared like-with-like against that child's own starting position.
- **Session-level capture.** Therapists log structured indicators each session — trials attempted, independence/prompt hierarchy, response accuracy, and emerging spontaneous use — so qualitative gains become countable.
- **Trajectory visualisation.** Repeated entries render as longitudinal trend lines per goal and per domain, distinguishing genuine progress from session-to-session variability.
- **Generalisation and carryover.** Performance is tracked across settings and across clinician/parent-led contexts, flagging when a skill has moved from prompted to functional use.
- **Plan recalibration.** Stalled trends, plateaus or accelerated gains prompt the team to adjust intensity, targets and home-practice — closing the measure-to-plan loop.

The intent is interval re-measurement: the child against their own trajectory, not against a population norm.

## What the clinical team monitors over time
Clinicians review goal-attainment slopes, reduction in prompt dependence, accuracy gains, breadth of generalisation across people and environments, and carryover into daily routines. Divergence between session data and the next scheduled AbilityScore® re-measure is itself a signal — prompting earlier review or interdisciplinary discussion.

## The Pinnacle way
Developmental measurement supports care planning; diagnosis requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional., under the care of a qualified clinician — never from a tool's running data alone. TherapySphere™ is the therapist workspace that holds the day-to-day signal; the AbilityScore® remains the clinician-administered structured assessment that sets and re-sets the baseline. Backed by 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions across 70+ centres with 700+ therapists, our teams turn each interval of data into actionable [therapy planning](/therapy).

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