The next steps are a clinician review and play-based occupational therapy with a sensory-integration focus, plus a home movement routine and re-measuring over time. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A Proprioceptive AbilityScore in the 300–400 band is simply a starting signpost — it tells us where your child's body-awareness is today, and exactly where gentle, playful support can help next.*\n\n## In short\nYour child's **Proprioceptive AbilityScore of 300–400** points to an emerging-support band — meaning their sense of where their body is in space (the inner feedback from muscles and joints that guides movement, force and posture) would benefit from targeted, play-based help. This is not a diagnosis; it is a clear, useful marker that lets a clinician build a precise plan. The next step is a structured review with a Pinnacle occupational therapist who turns this score into everyday strategies your child will actually enjoy.\n\n## What this score is telling you\nProprioception is the body's quiet \"position sense\" — it tells your child how hard to press a pencil, how to climb stairs without looking, how to sit still, and how to judge a hug's strength. A 300–400 band suggests this feedback is still developing, which can show up as:\n- **Seeking lots of input** — crashing, jumping, bumping, squeezing, or chewing on things\n- **Clumsiness** — knocking objects over, heavy-handed play, frequent trips\n- **Difficulty grading force** — pressing too hard or too softly when writing or holding\n- **Fatigue or fidgeting** when sitting still is expected\n\nNone of this means something is \"wrong\" — it means your child's body is asking for the right kind of movement practice to build steadier internal feedback.\n\n## The next steps\n1. **Book a clinician review** so the score becomes a personalised plan, not just a number.\n2. **Occupational therapy with a sensory-integration focus** is the core support — guided \"heavy work\" play (pushing, pulling, carrying, climbing) that strengthens proprioceptive feedback.\n3. **A home sensory routine** your therapist designs — short, daily, joyful movement built into ordinary play.\n4. **Re-measure over time** to track real progress and adjust the plan.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment.
