Read the answer AnswerHow is my child's personal data protected?

Read the answer AnswerHow is my child's progress measured?
A child's progress is measured by tracking growth in everyday abilities — communication, learning, movement, social connection, emotion, sensory processing and self-care — against a clear baseline.

The score and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle centre.

Anything beyond direct care, such as research, is asked for separately and is always optional.
Read the answer AnswerHow is Prematurity managed when it occurs together with Cerebral Palsy?

Read the answer AnswerHow long before I see progress from therapy?
Most families notice small, real changes within the first 6 to 12 weeks of consistent therapy, with bigger milestones building over months.

Read the answer AnswerHow much screen time is healthy for a young child?
Children under 2 do best with no screen time apart from video calls; ages 2 to 5 are healthiest at about one hour a day of quality content watched with a parent. The goal is protecting talk, play, movement and sleep. AAC devices are a child's voice, not screen time, and should be available all day.
Read the answer AnswerScreen time for a 12-to-18-month-old

Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
