What is Prognose in PinnacleAI?
Prognose is PinnacleAI’s named progress-forecasting module. It supports a revisable estimate for goal selection and checkpoints using relevant assessed information and context, with professional interpretation and family involvement.
What should my family understand about a forecast?
Ask what information supports the proposed goal, which assumptions matter, what support will be tried, what will be observed and when the professional will reconsider the plan. The next step should be understandable to your family.
Can Prognose predict when my child will be independent?
It cannot promise an individual endpoint or a date for independence, school entry or mainstream inclusion. Those remain meaningful directions for care; a forecast is a planning aid that must be reviewed against the child’s actual response.
What happens if my child responds differently than expected?
The professional reviews the observation, setting and support with the family. The next goal, activity, support or timing may change. In the illustrative playground example, the revised checkpoint is a chosen turn with one familiar peer in a quieter area, rather than larger-group play.
Does a child have to continue an activity to meet the forecast?
No. The child’s comfort, preferences and accessible ways to pause or decline matter. A forecast is not a quota or a reason to force participation; a professional can adapt or pause the plan.
How does Prognose connect with the other PinnacleAI modules?
Ability and readiness information and PDK context inform the planning discussion. Suitable activities and everyday practice follow professional selection. Fusion feedback and later reassessment can change the estimate and next step.
Is Prognose a diagnosis or a proven prediction for every child?
No. PinnacleAI’s licensed use is non-diagnostic developmental support. The BIS schedule names Prognose, while the linked AbilityScore external-validation record is a protocol, not completed external predictive validation for Prognose.
