Reassessment cadence is set by the clinician to match the child's age, goals and progress — frequent enough to catch what's working and correct what isn't. A Pinnacle clinician re-measures the AbilityScore® and updates the plan.

Development is not static, so a plan shouldn't be either. Reassessment is how PinnacleAI keeps a child's plan honest and current.

How often depends on the child — their **age, their goals, and how quickly they're progressing**. Younger children in the fastest window of change, or children working on priority goals, are typically re-measured more often; the clinician sets the right cadence for each child rather than applying a one-size rule.

At each reassessment the clinician **re-measures the AbilityScore®** and compares it to the baseline — turning "we think it's helping" into evidence. If progress is strong, goals advance. If a domain is lagging, the plan is **corrected** then and there.

The principle is simple: measure often enough that no month is wasted, and every change in the plan is driven by the child's real data.
