A Strength & Agility AbilityScore in the 200–300 band is an early structured signal that your child's gross-motor foundations would benefit from focused, play-based support now. It is not a diagnosis. The next steps are a full clinician-led assessment to understand the cause and a tailored motor plan. Developmental measurement supports care planning; diagnosis requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. under qualified clinician care.

*A score in this band is not a verdict — it's a clear starting point, and the next steps are simple, hopeful and entirely doable.*

## In short
A Strength & Agility AbilityScore® in the **200–300 band** is an early, structured signal that your child's gross-motor foundations — core strength, balance, coordination and the agility behind running, climbing and play — would benefit from focused support right now. It is **not a diagnosis** and not a measure of your child's worth or future. The next step is a full clinician-led assessment to understand *why* the score sits where it does, followed by a warm, play-based motor plan that builds these skills step by step.

## What this band means and what to do next
Think of the score as a map reference, not a label. Many children land in this band for very ordinary reasons — fewer chances to climb and run, a cautious temperament, low muscle tone, or simply needing more practice. A few may have an underlying motor difference worth understanding early. Your next steps:

- **Confirm with a full assessment.** A single number is a snapshot. A clinician looks at *how* your child moves — posture, core stability, balance, jumping, ball skills — to see the whole picture.
- **Start strengthening play now.** Gross-motor skills respond beautifully to repetition and fun. Climbing, animal-walks, balance games and obstacle courses are powerful therapy disguised as play.
- **Rule out the simple things.** Vision, footwear, energy levels and opportunity all shape movement. Your paediatrician can check general health and growth.
- **Track, don't panic.** This band is exactly where early, gentle support makes the biggest difference — the brain and body are wonderfully responsive at this stage.

## When to seek a check sooner
Book a check promptly if your child tires very quickly, frequently trips or falls, avoids stairs, climbing or playground play, has noticeably floppy or stiff muscles, struggles to keep up with peers, or if you've noticed any *loss* of a movement skill they once had. Any sudden change or regression deserves prompt medical review first.
