Understanding your Readiness Score

3 min read

In a nutshell

Your Readiness Score shows how much assessment preparation information has been collected. It measures completeness, not ADHD, risk or diagnostic confidence.

What does the Readiness Score mean?

The Readiness Score helps you understand the progress of your child's Assessment Package.

As you complete activities and information becomes available, the score reflects how much of the preparation journey has been completed.

What the score does not measure

Your Readiness Score is not:

  • an ADHD score
  • a symptom severity score
  • a health or risk score
  • a prediction of whether your child will receive a diagnosis
  • a measure of diagnostic confidence

A higher score simply means more of the relevant preparation information has been collected.

Good to know

A child with a 90% Readiness Score is not 'more likely' to have ADHD than a child with a 50% score. The score is only about assessment preparation.

Why might my score change?

Your score may update when you:

  • complete a guided activity
  • finish a questionnaire
  • upload relevant information
  • receive teacher input
  • complete another part of your child's history

What if something cannot be completed?

Some information may genuinely be unavailable.

A teacher may not be able to participate. A previous report may no longer be accessible. Not every family has the same history or supporting documents.

Threadline is designed to recognise that some items may be outside your control.

Do I need 100% before an assessment?

Not necessarily.

Your child's clinician decides what information they need for their assessment.

The Readiness Score helps you see what has been collected and what remains outstanding. It does not decide whether your child's assessment can proceed.
