Co-Ordination AbilityScore 600–700: Your Next Steps
A Co-Ordination AbilityScore® in the 600–700 band shows emerging motor skills with specific areas that respond well to early, playful support. It is a starting map, not a diagnosis. The clearest next step is a clinician review that turns the score into a tailored plan, usually with occupational and movement-based therapy plus home play. A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
A Co-Ordination score in the 600–700 band is a clear, encouraging signpost — your child's movement skills are developing, and a little targeted support now helps them flourish.
In short
A Co-Ordination AbilityScore® in the 600–700 band suggests your child's body-movement and motor-planning skills are emerging steadily, with some areas that would benefit from focused, playful practice. This is a band that responds beautifully to early, structured support — it is not a label or a diagnosis, but a starting map. The most useful next step is a clinician review to translate this number into a clear, practical plan tailored to your child.What this band tells you (and what it doesn't)
Co-ordination covers how a child plans and controls movement — balance, using both hands together, catching and throwing, climbing stairs, holding a crayon, and smoothly linking one movement to the next. A 600–700 result tells us which skills are flowing and which need building, but a single number never tells the whole story. Your child's age, temperament, opportunities to practise, and how they did on the day all matter.- It is a profile, not a verdict — the band guides where to focus, such as core stability, hand strength or motor planning.
- It is responsive — co-ordination is one of the most trainable areas of early development, with the right play-based practice.
- It needs context — the same number means different things at different ages, which is why a clinician interprets it alongside everything else they observe.
Your next steps
1. Book a clinician review so the score becomes a clear plan, not a worry. 2. Expect a tailored programme — usually occupational therapy and movement-based play targeting the specific skills flagged, with simple home activities you can weave into daily life. 3. Keep playing — climbing, ball games, threading, drawing and obstacle courses are powerful, joyful practice between sessions. 4. Re-measure over time — progress is tracked so you can see skills strengthening.The Pinnacle way
A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from an app, a form, or a number read in isolation. Backed by 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions across 70+ centres, our clinicians turn your child's AbilityScore® profile into a precise, motor-focused plan through occupational therapy.

What to watch
Watch how your child plans and links movements — balance on one foot, using both hands together, catching or throwing, climbing stairs and holding a crayon. Note any skills that seem to lag or frustrate them, and bring these observations to your clinician review.
Try this at home
Build short, joyful movement play into each day — obstacle courses with cushions, throwing a soft ball, threading beads or drawing big shapes. These everyday games are powerful co-ordination practice without any pressure.

Frequently asked
Is a Co-Ordination score of 600–700 something to worry about?
No — it is a starting map, not a verdict. It shows your child's movement skills are emerging, with some areas that would benefit from focused, playful practice. Co-ordination is one of the most trainable areas of early development, and a clinician review will turn the number into a clear, reassuring plan.
What kind of therapy helps with co-ordination?
Most often occupational therapy and movement-based play, targeting the specific skills flagged — such as balance, using both hands together, hand strength or motor planning. Your clinician tailors the programme to your child and gives you simple home activities to practise between sessions.
Will the score change over time?
Yes — co-ordination is highly responsive to the right support. Progress is re-measured over time so you can see skills strengthening, and the plan is adjusted as your child grows.
Does this score mean my child has a diagnosis?
No. An AbilityScore® band describes a profile of skills, not a diagnosis. A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
