A Proprioceptive AbilityScore in the 100–200 band signals that a child's body-awareness sense would benefit from clinician-guided occupational therapy, using playful 'heavy work' and movement activities plus simple home routines. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*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.
