AbilityScore 500–600 in DLD: what to do next
An AbilityScore of 500–600 is a starting baseline, not a verdict. The next step for a child with DLD is the same at any band: turn the score into a personalised speech-language therapy plan with your clinician, then re-measure progress against your child's own baseline.
Read the answer AnswerDLD with an AbilityScore of 600–700: what to do next
An AbilityScore of 600–700 is a current baseline, not a verdict. The next step is a clinician-led therapy plan built around it — regular speech and language therapy, daily home language practice, and re-measurement against your child's own baseline so progress is seen, not guessed.
Read the answer AnswerDLD AbilityScore 700–800 — what to do next
An AbilityScore in the 700–800 band is encouraging — it points to solid emerging language with specific areas still maturing. The next step is to sharpen goals with your speech-language pathologist, keep consistent therapy and home practice, and re-measure on schedule against your child's own baseline.
Read the answer AnswerDLD and an AbilityScore of 800–900: what to do next
An AbilityScore in the 800–900 band signals strong communication foundations in your child with DLD. The next step is to consolidate gains with targeted, often less-intensive speech and language work — richer expression, comprehension, literacy readiness — with periodic re-measurement. A clinician confirms what the band means for your child.
Read the answer AnswerDLD with an AbilityScore® of 900–1000: what to do next
An AbilityScore® of 900–1000 signals strong overall capacity — a real advantage for language therapy. The next step is goal-focused speech and language therapy, daily practice at home, and planned re-measurement against your child's own baseline, all guided by your Pinnacle clinician.
Read the answer AnswerDevelopmental Regression AbilityScore 0–100: Next Steps
With Developmental Regression, the AbilityScore band matters less than the regression itself — loss of previously held skills always warrants prompt clinical review, whatever the score. Bring the result to a Pinnacle clinician quickly so the cause can be understood and a plan made. The score is a baseline; only a clinician interprets it and forms any diagnosis.
Read the answer AnswerAbilityScore 100–200 with Developmental Regression — What to Do Next
An AbilityScore in the 100–200 band is an early structured signal, not a diagnosis. Because your concern involves developmental regression — losing skills once held — the prompt next step is an in-person clinician review to rule out medical causes and confirm next steps. Only a Pinnacle clinician forms a clinical AbilityScore® or diagnosis.
Read the answer AnswerDevelopmental Regression & AbilityScore 200–300 — What to Do Next
A 200–300 AbilityScore® is a baseline snapshot, not a diagnosis. Because regression means lost skills, the safest next step is a prompt clinician-led review to understand the cause first, then build and re-measure a therapy plan. Only a Pinnacle clinician confirms anything.
Read the answer AnswerDevelopmental Regression with an AbilityScore of 300–400: What to do next
An AbilityScore of 300–400 confirms your child needs meaningful structured support now. But with developmental regression — losing previously held skills — prompt medical review comes first to rule out an underlying cause, alongside a clinician-led therapy plan built on this baseline.
Read the answer AnswerDevelopmental Regression with an AbilityScore of 400–500: what to do next
A skill regression needs a doctor's review first to rule out treatable causes. An AbilityScore® of 400–500 is a baseline, not a verdict — a Pinnacle clinician turns it into a focused, re-measured plan. Only a centre forms a clinical score or diagnosis.

An AbilityScore of 600–700 is your child's own baseline, not a verdict. With developmental regression — losing skills once present — the key next step is a prompt clinician review to check for any medical cause first, then a tailored therapy plan with re-measurement to track skills returning.
