A Social Interaction AbilityScore of 900–1000 is the highest band, showing strong, age-appropriate social connection — there is nothing to fix. The next steps are to enrich and broaden these thriving skills through varied play and social settings, while keeping a holistic eye on all developmental domains. Developmental measurement supports care planning; diagnosis requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. under qualified clinician care.

*A Social Interaction score in the 900–1000 band is wonderful news — it means your child's connecting, sharing and relating skills are flourishing, and now the work is about nurturing what's already strong.*

## In short
A Social Interaction AbilityScore® of **900–1000** sits in the highest band, meaning your child is showing **strong, age-appropriate social connection** — making eye contact, sharing attention, taking turns and engaging warmly with others. There is nothing to fix here; the next steps are simply to **enrich, broaden and maintain** these thriving skills, while keeping a light eye on the whole developmental picture. A celebration band, not a worry band.

## What this band means and how to nurture it
Social Interaction (ICF **d710** — basic interpersonal interactions) covers the everyday building blocks of relating: showing warmth, responding to others, taking turns, and following the give-and-take of social moments. A top-band score tells us these are developing beautifully.

To help your child keep flourishing:
- **Widen the social circle** — playdates, group activities, sport, music or community settings give richer, varied practice with different children and adults.
- **Stretch into more complex play** — cooperative games, pretend play with roles, and turn-taking that involves negotiation help social skills mature into friendship skills.
- **Model and name feelings** — talking about emotions (yours, theirs, story characters') builds the empathy and perspective-taking that deepen social ability.
- **Look across all domains** — a strong score in one area is a great moment to make sure language, play, motor and attention are all tracking happily too, so support can be celebratory and holistic.

A high band is also a chance to let your child *lead* — following their interests in social settings keeps motivation and joy at the centre.

## When to seek a check
This band needs no urgent action. Still, every child grows in spurts and dips, so a routine developmental review at the usual milestone checks is wise — and worth booking sooner if you notice a *change*: new withdrawal, loss of skills your child previously had, or social difficulty appearing alongside concerns in language or behaviour.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or a single number. A clinician reads this score within your child's whole profile, so strengths like this become a foundation for the next stage of growth.
