Families receive regular updates on their child's development — a brief touchpoint after each session and a formal progress review roughly every 8–12 weeks where goals are revisited, with the exact rhythm set with you at the start. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*From the very first session, you are never left wondering whether your child is moving forward — progress is shared with you, clearly and often.*

## In short
You will receive regular, structured updates on your child's development — typically a **brief touchpoint after each therapy session** about how the day went, with a **formal progress review roughly every 8–12 weeks** where the team revisits goals with you. The exact rhythm is set with you at the start, around your child's plan and your family's needs. You are always welcome to ask for an update between reviews.

## How tracking works
- **After each session** — your therapist shares a short note on what was practised, how your child responded, and one simple thing to try at home.
- **Periodic progress reviews** — usually every 8–12 weeks, the team sits down with you to revisit goals, celebrate gains, and adjust the plan based on a structured reassessment.
- **Milestone-linked check-ins** — when your child reaches a goal or a new need emerges, the plan is updated and you are informed straight away.
- **You drive the conversation too** — questions, worries or wins between reviews are always welcome; tracking is a shared partnership, not a one-way report.

This steady rhythm means you can see real, measurable change over time rather than guessing — and it keeps therapy honest, goal-focused and built around your child.

## The Pinnacle way
Progress is followed through our structured [Track](/track) step, and any clinical reassessment uses a clinician-administered [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated). A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed **only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care** — never from an app or form. You can explore how ongoing [therapy support](/speech-therapy) is shaped around each review.

## Trusted sources

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