# Visual AbilityScore 600–700 — What Are the Next Steps?

A Visual AbilityScore of 600–700 points to a moderate-support zone for seeing functions (ICF b210). The next steps are to confirm the picture with a Pinnacle clinician, rule out underlying eye-health factors with a paediatric eye check, and begin gentle, strengths-based visual-skills play, often with occupational therapy support. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*A Visual AbilityScore in the 600–700 band is a clear, usable signal — and the next steps are gentle, practical and well within reach.*

## In short
Your child's **Visual AbilityScore of 600–700** is a structured snapshot of how they take in, process and respond to what they see — and it points towards a *moderate support* zone where targeted, playful input tends to help most. The single most useful next step is to **confirm the picture with a Pinnacle clinician**, rule out any underlying eye-health factor with a paediatric eye check, and begin a simple, strengths-based plan. This is a starting line, not a label — many children in this band make lovely, steady progress.

## What this band means and what to do next
The Visual domain (ICF **b210**, seeing functions) covers far more than eyesight alone — it includes visual attention, tracking a moving object, recognising faces and shapes, and using vision to guide movement and play. A 600–700 score suggests some areas are developing well while others would benefit from focused, repeated practice.

Practical next steps:
- **Confirm with a clinician.** A short review at a Pinnacle centre turns a score into a clear, personalised profile of your child's visual strengths and the specific skills to nurture.
- **Rule out eye-health factors first.** A paediatric optometry or ophthalmology check makes sure clarity, focus and eye alignment aren't the missing piece — this matters before any therapy plan.
- **Begin gentle visual-skills play.** High-contrast toys, tracking games, light-and-shadow play, and pairing seeing with reaching all build the pathways behind everyday vision.
- **Loop in occupational therapy** where visual processing affects play, attention or coordination — the team weaves practice into daily routines you can continue at home.

The goal is never to rush, but to give your child's visual system the enjoyable, repeated practice it learns best from.

## When to seek a prompt check
Book sooner rather than later if you notice your child not making eye contact as expected for their age, not following or reaching for objects, eyes that turn or wander, frequent squinting, head tilting, or holding things very close. These cues deserve a timely look from both an eye specialist and a developmental clinician.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app, a number alone or an online form. Backed by 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions across 70+ centres, your child's [visual profile](/) is reviewed by a clinician who shapes a plan around their strengths.
