AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A proprioceptive AbilityScore® in the 100–200 band is a clear starting point — and the next steps are gentle, practical and full of hope.*\n\n## In short\nYour 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.\n\n## What proprioception means — and what helps\nProprioception 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.\n\nSupport is play-based and joyful:\n- **Occupational therapy** — the core intervention, using \"heavy work\" and movement activities that feed the body-awareness system in a structured, fun way.\n- **Sensory-rich daily play** — pushing, pulling, carrying, climbing, animal walks and squeeze games that give the muscles and joints the deep input they crave.\n- **Parent coaching** — you are shown simple routines so the practice continues happily at home, between sessions.\n\n## Your next steps\n1. **Book a clinician review** so a qualified occupational therapist can confirm the profile and shape a plan to your child specifically.\n2. **Begin gentle daily \"heavy work\"** — carrying the shopping, pushing a laundry basket, wall pushes, or jumping games.\n3. **Track small wins** — steadier sitting, calmer body, more confident movement — and share them with your therapist.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
