🎒 “She Doesn’t Speak in Class. But She Speaks at Home.”
That’s what the teacher told Ananya’s parents during the first PTM of nursery.
They were surprised. At home, their daughter sang songs and repeated rhymes. But in school?
“She was quiet. Didn’t respond to roll call. Didn’t play with others. Didn’t raise her hand — even when she knew the answer.”
What followed was weeks of confusion. Until the teacher said something no one had considered:
“Maybe you should get her screened.”
🧩 Teachers: The First Line of Observation
Across India, from hyderabad to delhi, schools are noticing more children struggling in silence.
- Avoiding eye contact
- Not responding to name
- Playing alone
- Repeating lines from cartoons
- Melting down during transitions
These aren’t discipline issues. They’re developmental signals — often missed at home where routines are familiar and comforting.
“In school, everything is new — that’s where gaps become visible,” says Ms. Bhanu, a preschool head in South Delhi.
🧠 From Suspicion to Solution — Schools Turning to AbilityScore©®
Instead of passing on vague concerns, forward-thinking schools are now recommending AbilityScore©®, a patented screening system by Pinnacle®.
Here’s what it does:
- Scores the child across 6 core domains:
🗣️ Communication
🤝 Social Play
💬 Emotional Behavior
🧠 Cognitive Readiness
✋ Motor Control
🎒 school Adaptability - Color zones results: 🔴 red = Critical delay
🟡 Yellow = Developing skill
🟢 Green = Age-appropriate
“It gives the school, the therapist, and the parent a single page to align on,” explains Dr. Malini – Developmental Specialist, Pinnacle® hyderabad South.
🎯 TherapeuticAI©® – The Engine Behind Personalized school Support
Once a child’s AbilityScore©® is complete, TherapeuticAI©® plans a therapy roadmap that:
- Targets school-relevant skills
- Builds attention span, social engagement, classroom transitions
- Monitors weekly shifts in ability zones
- Reports directly to both therapists and parents
The result? Improved classroom participation and social confidence — within weeks.
