Behaviour readiness AbilityScore 300–400: your next steps

A score in this band is not a verdict — it's a clear starting point that tells us exactly where to focus your child's behaviour-readiness support.

In short

A Behaviour readiness AbilityScore® in the 300–400 range suggests your child may benefit from structured, focused support to build the everyday skills behind regulation, attention, following routines and managing transitions. This is a band that responds beautifully to early, targeted help — it tells you where to begin, not what your child can or cannot become. The next step is a clinician-led review so the score becomes a precise plan, shaped around your child's strengths.

What this band usually means

Behaviour readiness reflects how comfortably your child can settle, attend, wait, follow simple instructions and move between activities — the foundations that let learning and play flow. A score in this range often means a few of these building blocks need patient, playful strengthening, rather than signalling anything fixed or alarming.

Common, well-supported next steps include:

• A clinician review of the full profile — the number is only meaningful alongside how your child behaves at home, in play and around others. A clinician interprets it in context.
• Targeted behaviour and regulation support — predictable routines, clear and calm expectations, and graded practice with transitions and waiting, built into everyday moments.
• Occupational therapy input where sensory or self-regulation needs sit underneath the behaviour.
• Parent coaching — small, repeatable strategies you can use at home that turn daily routines into gentle practice.

When to act sooner

Seek a review promptly if behaviour is causing real distress for your child, affecting safety, or making everyday routines and family life consistently difficult — earlier support is always gentler and more effective.
