How Track & Correction Fusion works in clinical practice
Track & Correction Fusion is the closed-loop layer in a Pinnacle session that continuously tracks each trial response and fuses it with the child's AbilityScore® profile, surfacing clinically sensible corrections — prompt fading, target re-massing, reinforcer changes — for the therapist to action in near-real time. 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.
