A Social Interaction AbilityScore® in the 100–200 band is one snapshot of how your child connects, shares attention and responds to others — not a diagnosis. The next step is a clinician-led review at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, where the score is interpreted in context and a tailored social-communication plan is built. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*A score band is not a verdict — it is a starting line, and you have already taken the first step by paying attention.*

## In short
A Social Interaction AbilityScore® in the **100–200 band** is one snapshot of how your child currently connects, shares attention and responds to others — it is information, not a label. The clear next step is a **full clinician-led review at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre**, where this number is placed alongside your child's age, history and play, so a precise, supportive plan can be built. Most children in this band benefit from focused, playful social-communication support that helps connection grow steadily.

## What this band means and what to do
Think of the AbilityScore® as one carefully measured indicator of how your child engages socially — making eye contact, taking turns, sharing interest, responding to their name and reading the back-and-forth of interaction. A single band on its own cannot tell the whole story; the same number can mean different things for a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old.

Your practical next steps:
- **Book a clinician review** — so a qualified professional can interpret the score in context and confirm whether targeted support will help.
- **Note what you already see** — does your child seek you out to share a toy, point to show you things, respond to their name, enjoy simple turn-taking games? Bring these everyday observations; they are gold for the clinician.
- **Start gentle connection at home now** — you do not need to wait. Get face-to-face, follow your child's lead in play, narrate what they are doing, and pause to invite a response.
- **Expect a tailored plan** — support is shaped around *your* child, often blending playful social-communication therapy with coaching for you, the parent, who remains your child's most powerful guide.

## When to seek a check sooner
Arrange a review promptly if you also notice your child rarely makes eye contact, does not respond to their name, has lost words or social skills they once had, shows very little interest in other people, or if your own instinct says something has changed. Early, warm support consistently helps children connect more confidently.
