Body Coordination AbilityScore 600–700: Next Steps
A Body Coordination AbilityScore in the 600–700 band is an emerging-to-developing snapshot of how a child's body works together for smooth movement — not a diagnosis. The next step is a clinician assessment that interprets this score alongside real daily play and dressing skills, leading to a tailored physiotherapy or occupational therapy plan. A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
A Body Coordination AbilityScore in the 600–700 band is a clear, encouraging signpost — it tells us where your child is now, and exactly where to begin.
In short
A Body Coordination AbilityScore® in the 600–700 band points to an emerging-to-developing picture of how your child's two sides, hands, eyes and whole body work together for smooth, purposeful movement. It is a starting map, not a verdict — and the next step is simply a clinician conversation that turns this number into a clear, practical plan. With targeted, playful support, body coordination is highly responsive and tends to improve steadily.What this band tells us
Body coordination (ICF b760, control of voluntary movements) is about timing and teamwork between muscles — skipping, catching, climbing stairs with alternating feet, doing up buttons, or coordinating both hands at once. A 600–700 band usually means:- Your child is building these skills, with some moving more smoothly than others.
- There may be a few activities that feel harder, clumsier or more tiring than expected for their age.
- This is a point-in-time snapshot — coordination develops at different rates, and bands shift with the right practice.
It is not a diagnosis, and it does not predict a ceiling. It tells us where focused support will help most.
Your next steps
1. Book a clinical assessment so a qualified therapist can interpret this score alongside how your child actually plays, dresses, writes and moves day to day. 2. Expect a tailored plan — often physiotherapy or occupational therapy with playful, repeatable activities that build balance, bilateral coordination and motor planning. 3. Bring your observations — what looks effortful, what your child avoids, and what they love. This shapes a plan that fits your family. 4. Start gentle home practice — short, fun daily movement games matter more than long sessions.The Pinnacle way
A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from an app, a band on a screen, or this page alone. Backed by 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions, our clinicians turn a band like 600–700 into a precise, child-led plan. Learn how the AbilityScore is calculated, explore occupational therapy for coordination support, and start at our [home page](/) to find your nearest centre.Trusted sources

What to watch
Watch for movements that look clumsy, effortful or tiring for your child's age — difficulty catching, climbing stairs with alternating feet, doing buttons, or using both hands together. Note activities your child avoids and bring these observations to the assessment.
Try this at home
Build coordination through play, not drills — try short daily games like catching a soft ball, hopping over cushions, or threading large beads. Five fun minutes a day beats one long session.
