# Mobility AbilityScore 100–200: what are the next steps?

A Mobility AbilityScore in the 100–200 band is an early signal to look closer, not a diagnosis. The clearest next step is a clinician-led review at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, where a physiotherapist or occupational therapist observes how your child moves and builds a tailored plan. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*A Mobility AbilityScore in the 100–200 band is a starting point, not a verdict — it tells us where to begin, gently and precisely.*

## In short
A Mobility AbilityScore in the **100–200 band** is best understood as an early signal that your child's movement skills deserve a closer, supportive look — not a diagnosis and not a cause for alarm. The most useful next step is a structured, clinician-led review at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, where a qualified physiotherapist or occupational therapist can see *how* your child moves and build a plan around their real strengths and needs. Many children in this band make steady, encouraging progress with the right early support.

## What this band means and what to do next
The AbilityScore® band is one piece of a bigger picture — it points to *where to look*, never to a label. Here is how to move forward calmly and constructively:

- **Book a clinician review.** A physiotherapist or occupational therapist will watch your child move, sit, crawl, stand, walk or use their hands, and look at balance, strength, coordination and posture in everyday play.
- **Bring your everyday observations.** How your child gets around the house, climbs stairs, holds a spoon or keeps up at the park tells the team as much as any test. Short phone videos of your child playing are genuinely helpful.
- **Expect a tailored plan, not a one-size-fits-all programme.** Support may include hands-on motor therapy, playful strengthening and balance activities, and simple home routines you can weave into daily life.
- **Rule in the helpers.** Your paediatrician can check for any medical factors (such as muscle tone, vision or general health) that influence movement, so therapy works alongside that care.

The goal is to turn a number into a clear, doable next step — and to build your child's confidence in their own body.

## When to seek a check sooner
Arrange a review promptly if your child has lost a movement skill they once had, seems markedly stiff or unusually floppy, strongly favours one side of the body, or if you simply feel something has changed. Trust your instinct — an early look is always worthwhile, and most often reassuring.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app, a band number or an online form. With 25 million+ therapy sessions and 700+ therapists across 70+ centres, your child's movement profile is built by people who see this every day. Understand the measure on [what the AbilityScore is and how it is calculated](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated), explore [physiotherapy and motor support](/physiotherapy), or return to the [Pinnacle home](/) to find your nearest centre.

This is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
