After a developmental assessment, your clinician explains the findings, then works with you to create a personalised written therapy plan with clear goals, recommended sessions and progress reviews. The plan grows with your child. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*The assessment is the beginning of the journey — what comes next is a clear, caring plan built around your child.*

## In short
Once your child's developmental assessment is complete, your clinician sits down with you to explain what they observed — your child's strengths and the areas that need support. Together you receive a written **individualised therapy plan** with clear goals, recommended sessions and a simple way to track progress. Nothing is rushed and nothing is decided without you; you leave knowing exactly what the next step looks like.

## What happens next, step by step
- **A feedback conversation** — your clinician walks you through the findings in plain language, celebrating what your child does well and gently explaining where growth is needed. You can ask anything.
- **Your child's plan** — a personalised roadmap with specific, achievable goals, the type and frequency of therapy recommended (for example speech, occupational or behaviour support), and realistic timelines.
- **Goal-setting with you** — you help shape the priorities, because the goals that matter most to your family matter most to us.
- **Getting started** — sessions are scheduled, your therapy team is introduced, and you're shown simple ways to support progress at home.
- **Review points** — progress is tracked over time and the plan is adjusted as your child grows and gains new skills.

The plan is a living document — it grows and changes as your child does, always built around their strengths first.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or online form. Your child's [plan](/plan) flows directly from their [AbilityScore® profile](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated), and where speech and communication are a priority, our [speech therapy](https://www.pinnacleblooms.org/top-speech-therapy-center-india-proven-improvement-rate) team begins shaping sessions around your goals. Across 70+ centres and 25 million+ therapy sessions, every plan is personal.
