Cohesion
My child's Cohesion AbilityScore is 100–200 — next steps
A Cohesion AbilityScore in the 100–200 band is an early signal from a structured measure, not a diagnosis. It flags that this area — how a child's developing skills work together as a connected whole — is worth a closer, in-person look. The most useful next step is a clinician-led assessment at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, where the score is interpreted alongside real observation. A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre under qualified clinician care.
A score band is a starting point, not a verdict — it tells us where to look next, gently and together.
In short
A Cohesion AbilityScore in the 100–200 band is one early signal from our structured measure — it points to how your child's skills are holding together and working as a connected whole right now. It is not a diagnosis and not a final word about your child's potential. The most helpful next step is a clinician-led review at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, where this number is placed alongside what we observe in person, so any plan is built around the real child in front of us, not a band alone.What this band means — and doesn't
Think of Cohesion as a thread that links the different abilities your child is developing — how attention, communication, movement and play come together in everyday moments. A score in this range simply flags that this area is worth a closer, in-person look. It does not tell us why, and it cannot stand in for a clinician's judgement.- It is a snapshot, not a label — children develop in spurts, and a single number can shift with context, mood, sleep and how the day went.
- It guides where to look — the band helps a clinician decide which areas to explore first during a full assessment.
- It is most useful in person — the same score can mean different things for different children, which is exactly why the next step is a clinician review, not online interpretation.
Your next steps
1. Book a clinician-led assessment at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre — this is where the AbilityScore® is properly interpreted and any diagnosis, if needed, is formed. 2. Note what you see at home — moments where things flow well and moments that feel harder, so you can share real examples. 3. Keep ordinary play going — talking, reading, movement and unhurried connection support every developing skill while you wait for your appointment.There is no need to worry yourself into a corner over a number. A band like this is precisely why structured measurement exists — to bring you in for a clear, caring look, early.

What to watch
Watch for everyday moments where your child's skills flow well together — and moments that feel harder, such as shifting attention, joining play, or following a connected routine. Note real examples to share at your assessment, and don't read a single band number as a verdict.
Try this at home
Keep ordinary connection going — unhurried talking, reading, simple turn-taking play and movement all help your child's developing skills link together while you wait for your clinician appointment.
