# AbilityScore 100–200 with FASD: your next step

Publisher: Pinnacle Blooms Network / Bharath Healthcare Laboratories Private Limited

An AbilityScore band of 100–200 is a planning baseline, not a verdict. The next step is a clinician-guided conversation that turns it into a targeted therapy roadmap with measurable goals — reviewed and re-measured against your own child's progress over time.

*Seeing a number after an assessment is one thing — knowing what to do with it as a family is another. Here's your next step, made simple.*

## In short
An [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) in the 100–200 band is a structured snapshot of where your child stands *right now* across developmental domains — it is a starting point for planning, never a verdict on your child's future. For a child with [Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder](/) (ICD-11 LD2F.00), the next step is a clinician-guided planning conversation that turns this baseline into a personalised therapy roadmap with clear, measurable goals.

## What this band means for your planning
FASD affects each child differently — learning, attention, memory, language, motor coordination, emotional regulation and daily-living skills can all be touched to varying degrees. Your AbilityScore band helps your Pinnacle clinician see which domains are your child's strengths and which need the most support, so therapy is targeted rather than generic.

Practical next moves:

- **Convert the score into a plan** — sit with your clinician to translate the band into 2–3 priority goals for the coming months.
- **Build the right therapy mix** — depending on the profile, this may combine [speech therapy](/speech-therapy), occupational therapy and behaviour support.
- **Set a re-measurement rhythm** — your child is compared to their *own* baseline over time, so progress stays visible even when it is gradual.
- **Strengthen the home and school loop** — consistent routines, predictable structure and shared goals between home and classroom amplify therapy gains.

## When to seek prompt review
Return to your clinician sooner if you notice loss of skills your child once had, new seizures or staring spells, significant sleep or feeding disruption, or rising frustration and distress — these deserve timely medical attention alongside therapy planning.

## The Pinnacle way
Your AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under the care of a qualified clinician using a structured, clinician-administered assessment — never from an online form or a number alone. With 25 million+ therapy sessions and 4.95 lakh+ families supported across 70+ centres, the aim is steady, evidence-led progress measured against your own child's baseline. Start with [enrolment](/enroll) and a [planning review of the AbilityScore](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated).

## Trusted sources
WHO ICD-11 (LD2F.00, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder); American Academy of Paediatrics guidance on FASD and developmental follow-up; ASHA on communication support in neurodevelopmental conditions.

**Next step —** Turn the number into a plan: [book a planning review](/enroll) with your Pinnacle clinician to set this season's goals.

This is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
