It couples trial-level error correction with plan-level trajectory awareness as decision support, not automation. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*Therapy that adapts the moment a child's response signals it should — not at the next review.*\n\n## In short\nTrack & Correction Fusion is the closed-loop layer within a Pinnacle therapy session that continuously **tracks** a child's response to each targeted trial or activity and feeds it back so the therapist can **correct** — adjusting prompt level, pacing, reinforcement or target difficulty — in near-real time. It fuses moment-to-moment trial data with the longitudinal AbilityScore® profile, so micro-adjustments within a session and macro-adjustments across the plan stay coherent. In practice it turns each session into measured, self-correcting practice rather than fixed routine.\n\n## How it works in the session\n- **Track (data capture):** the therapist logs response to each trial or activity — correct/incorrect, prompt level used, latency, error type, engagement and dysregulation markers — against the active goal. Capture is lightweight and structured so it never interrupts the therapeutic relationship.\n- **Fusion (signal integration):** in-session trial data is reconciled with the child's standing AbilityScore® profile and goal hierarchy. This contextualises a single rough patch — is this a momentary dip, a fatigue effect, or a genuine plateau on this target?\n- **Correction (clinical decision support):** the system surfaces the next clinically sensible step — fade or increase a prompt, shift to a discriminative or maintenance trial, switch reinforcer, or re-mass an emerging skill — for the **therapist to action under their own judgement**. The clinician decides; the fusion layer makes the decision faster and better evidenced.\n- **Loop closure:** corrections are themselves tracked, so the system learns whether the adjustment helped, and the next session opens with that context already loaded.\n\n## Why fusion matters clinically\nMany platforms either capture data *or* guide decisions; fusion couples them. The benefit is **error-correction at the trial level** (preventing rehearsal of incorrect responses) combined with **trajectory awareness** at the plan level (catching plateaus and over-prompting early). It supports fidelity across a multi-therapist team, makes inter-session handover precise, and gives supervisors an auditable view of why a target was advanced, held or revised. It is decision *support* — it augments the therapist, it does not automate clinical judgement.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nTrack & Correction Fusion is a measurement-and-support component, not a diagnostic instrument — a clinical [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
