A useful first answer
Who should I speak with about my child?
Describe your question to the receiving team. Ask which professional is suitable, their relevant qualifications and registration, the appointment format and fee. An enquiry or this page does not diagnose your child.
Emotions, relationships and everyday participation
Start with a meaningful example from your child’s actual day.
Learning or behaviour questions you want to understand
Bring your questions and relevant reports you already have.
Your child’s strengths and the family priorities you want to discuss
Ask what happens next, who will help and how progress will be reviewed.
Keep detailed child information for the private professional conversation. Your first enquiry can begin with a question and preferred location.
Child centred · Parent and family centred
A starting picture.
A plan with a purpose.
A child development assessment brings family priorities, professional observation and suitable measures together to understand present abilities and support needs. The aim is an explained starting picture and a useful next-step discussion—not a score on its own.
- Understand abilities
Start with strengths, everyday observations and suitable assessment. Read AbilityScore with the child’s age, context and skills.
- Plan for readiness
Discuss what you want to make possible and agree useful priorities. Readiness views support professional judgement.
- Choose relevant support
Bring in the therapies, educational support or health review that fit this child. Every child does not need every service.
- Practise in everyday life
Use manageable, guided practice in meaningful routines. Family participation connects the work with daily life.
- Track and correct
Bring relevant observations back into review. Ask what became useful, what support remains and what needs to change.
- Reassess and repeat
Compare abilities and context over time. Continue, adapt or complete support according to the child’s needs.
- Grow independence and participation
Keep self-sufficiency, learning, relationships and mainstream participation in view. Progress is individual.
Choose relevant support
Explore the service.
Connect it with everyday life.
One child. One life. One direction.
Each therapy has a role.
Your child’s whole life gives it purpose.
A car works because every part serves the journey. A home works because every room serves the people who live there. In the same way, therapy techniques matter most when they help your child communicate, manage everyday life, learn and participate with growing independence.

Before you choose
Your questions. A clear next step.
Who should I speak with about my child?
Describe your question to the receiving team. Ask which professional is suitable, their relevant qualifications and registration, the appointment format and fee. An enquiry or this page does not diagnose your child.
What should I confirm before a visit?
Confirm the suitable service, professional and qualifications, preferred centre, appointment, fee and what explanation or written output is included.
Does an enquiry diagnose my child?
An enquiry, AbilityScore or PinnacleAI software record does not diagnose autism or ADHD. If a diagnostic question needs answering, ask about the appropriately qualified professional or diagnostic pathway. Developmental-support assessment and medical diagnosis have different purposes.
