Check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, try resending the confirmation email from the app or contact support.
Why is my dashboard empty? (Children under 12 months)
+

Progress Reports & Appointments

How do I track my child's progress effectively?
+
Log activities regularly, mark milestones as achieved, and review the progress reports. Consistency is key — the more you track, the more personalised the recommendations become.
How is my child's progress measured?
+
Progress is measured against developmental milestones for your child's age, tracking skill acquisition across speech, motor, social, and cognitive domains.
How often should we practice the recommended activity?
+
Daily practice is recommended. Short consistent sessions of 10–15 minutes are more effective than infrequent longer sessions.
What should I prepare before my consultation session?
+
Have your child's recent milestone data ready, note specific concerns or observations, and ensure you have a quiet space with stable internet.
Can I download my child's consultation summaries?
+
Yes. Consultation summaries are available to download from within the app after your session.
Can the appointment be recorded?
+
We record appointments to make sure your child receives the best and most consistent care possible. These recordings also help us maintain quality and continue improving our services.
When will I see improvement in my child's developmental skills?
+
Improvement timelines vary per child. Consistent practice with recommended activities and specialist guidance typically shows progress within weeks to months.
Why did my child regress a skill they had mastered?
+
Regression is normal and can happen due to illness, stress, or environmental changes. Discuss it with your Tiggie specialist if concerned.
How is Tiggie Consult different from clinic therapy?
+
Tiggie Consult provides accessible online guidance. While it doesn't replace in-person therapy for complex needs, it's ideal for early guidance, parent coaching, and follow-up support.
