Co-Ordination
What an AbilityScore of 100–200 in Co-Ordination means
An AbilityScore band of 100–200 in Co-Ordination is one part of a clinician-administered structured assessment of how your child's body works together — balance, hand-eye teamwork and smooth movement. It is read against your child's own picture, never as a label or diagnosis, and only a Pinnacle clinician can interpret what it truly means for your child.
A number on a page is never the whole story of your child — it is simply a gentle starting point for understanding how they move and coordinate.
In short
An AbilityScore® band of 100–200 in Co-Ordination is one slice of a clinician-administered structured assessment that looks at how your child's body works together — balance, hand-eye teamwork, smooth movement and the timing behind everyday actions. A band is read against your child's own developmental picture, never as a label or a verdict, and on its own it does not diagnose anything. What it truly means for your child can only be interpreted by a Pinnacle clinician who sees the full context — their age, history, strengths and daily life.What Co-Ordination actually looks at
Co-ordination is how the brain and body cooperate to produce smooth, well-timed movement. When a clinician explores this area, they observe practical, everyday skills:- Balance and stability — sitting, standing, walking and recovering steadiness without tipping.
- Hand-eye teamwork — reaching, grasping, stacking, scribbling, catching or feeding.
- Bilateral coordination — using both sides of the body together, such as crawling or clapping.
- Motor planning — figuring out how to do a new physical action and sequencing the steps.
- Rhythm and timing — the smoothness and pacing behind movements rather than the effort.
A band such as 100–200 tells your clinician where to focus the conversation — it highlights which coordination skills to nurture and which are already blooming. Two children with the same band can have very different needs, which is exactly why the score is a starting point and never an endpoint.
How to hold this number
Please resist comparing this band to other children or treating it as a grade. Co-ordination develops in spurts, and a single read is a snapshot, not a destiny. The most helpful next step is simply a calm conversation with a clinician who can place the band beside your child's age, recent milestones and everyday play — and explain, warmly, what it means for your child specifically.The Pinnacle way

What to watch
Notice whether your child grows steadier and smoother over time with everyday play — stacking, climbing, catching, drawing. Seek a professional look if movement seems consistently clumsy, if both sides of the body don't work well together, or if your child avoids physical tasks peers enjoy.
Try this at home
Build coordination through play, not drills: rolling a ball back and forth, stacking blocks, climbing safely and clapping games all weave balance, timing and hand-eye teamwork into joyful daily moments.
