# Gross Motor AbilityScore 600–700 — Next Steps

Publisher: Pinnacle Blooms Network / Bharath Healthcare Laboratories Private Limited

A Gross Motor AbilityScore in the 600–700 band signals emerging, developing big-movement skills with clear room to grow. The next steps are to review the profile with a clinician, set 2–3 motor goals, begin or fine-tune physiotherapy and occupational support, keep movement playful at home, and plan a re-measure. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*A Gross Motor AbilityScore in the 600–700 band is a clear, encouraging signal — your child is making real progress, and the next steps are about steady, joyful momentum.*

## In short
A Gross Motor AbilityScore® in the **600–700 band** points to **emerging, developing strength** in the big-movement skills — sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, climbing and balance — with room to grow towards confident, well-coordinated movement. This is a starting point for a focused plan, not a verdict. The next steps are simple: review the score with your therapist, set 2–3 clear motor goals, begin or fine-tune physiotherapy or occupational support, and keep movement playful and frequent at home.

## What the next steps look like
- **Talk through the profile with your clinician.** A single band is one part of the picture. Your therapist will explain which gross-motor skills are strong and which need building, and how this links to your child's age and everyday activities (ICF *d455 — moving around*).
- **Set a few clear, doable goals.** For example, steadier standing balance, climbing stairs with alternating feet, or catching and throwing — chosen to matter for your child's daily life.
- **Begin or adjust therapy.** Gross-motor goals are usually supported through **paediatric physiotherapy and occupational therapy** — building core strength, balance, coordination and motor planning through play-based, graded activities.
- **Make movement part of every day.** Short, frequent bursts of active play at home — climbing, hopping, ball games, obstacle courses — turn therapy goals into real-world skill.
- **Plan a re-measure.** The AbilityScore® is designed to be tracked over time, so you can see progress clearly and adjust the plan as your child grows.

A score in this band most often means *keep going with purpose* — consistent, well-targeted support tends to move children steadily towards stronger, more confident movement.

## When to seek a closer look
Speak to your clinician sooner if you notice your child consistently using one side of the body far more than the other, frequent falls or stiffness, a loss of a skill they previously had, or movement that seems painful. These warrant prompt review rather than waiting for the next routine check.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or a number alone. Your child's [AbilityScore® profile](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) is reviewed by a clinician who turns the 600–700 band into a clear, personalised motor plan, supported through [physiotherapy and gross-motor therapy](/physiotherapy). You can always [start here](/) to find your nearest centre across our 70+ centres in 4 states.
