Proprioceptive AbilityScore 100–200: your next steps

A proprioceptive AbilityScore® in the 100–200 band is a clear starting point — and the next steps are gentle, practical and full of hope.

In short

Your child's proprioceptive score sitting in the 100–200 band is simply a signal that their body-awareness system — the sense that tells them where their arms, legs and body are in space, and how much force to use — would benefit from focused, playful support. The next step is a clinician-guided occupational therapy plan built around your child's strengths, with simple activities woven into your everyday routine. This is a profile to act on calmly, not a diagnosis, and children in this band very often make warm, steady progress with the right input.

What proprioception means — and what helps

Proprioception is the "body map" sense. It helps a child sit upright without slumping, judge how hard to grip a pencil or hug a friend, climb stairs confidently, and feel settled and organised in their own body. When this sense needs strengthening, you may notice a child who seeks lots of pushing, squeezing, crashing and jumping — or one who seems clumsy, leans on things, or tires quickly.

Support is play-based and joyful:

• Occupational therapy — the core intervention, using "heavy work" and movement activities that feed the body-awareness system in a structured, fun way.
• Sensory-rich daily play — pushing, pulling, carrying, climbing, animal walks and squeeze games that give the muscles and joints the deep input they crave.
• Parent coaching — you are shown simple routines so the practice continues happily at home, between sessions.

Your next steps

1. Book a clinician review so a qualified occupational therapist can confirm the profile and shape a plan to your child specifically.
2. Begin gentle daily "heavy work" — carrying the shopping, pushing a laundry basket, wall pushes, or jumping games.
3. Track small wins — steadier sitting, calmer body, more confident movement — and share them with your therapist.
