The clinical team reviews fresh AbilityScore® findings against your child's goals, then adjusts what's working, retires goals that are now mastered, and sets the next set of small, achievable targets. Sometimes the focus shifts, session frequency changes, or a new domain is added — always shaped around your child's current strengths and needs.\n\n## What changes — and what stays\n- **Mastered goals are celebrated and retired** — skills your child has gained move from \"working on\" to \"secure\", making room for the next step.\n- **Goals are refined or replaced** — targets that need more time continue with adjusted strategies; new priorities are added as your child develops.\n- **Intensity and mix may change** — the team may adjust how often sessions run, or rebalance between therapies as needs evolve.\n- **Home routines are refreshed** — you receive updated, simple everyday activities so progress continues between sessions.\n- **You're part of the conversation** — the clinician explains the why behind each change, so you always understand the next chapter of the plan.\n\nReassessment is the rhythm that keeps therapy precise — a plan that stood still would stop serving your growing child.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
