A score of 700–800 in Family Communication is a heartening sign — it tells you connection is flowing strongly between your child and the people who love them.
In short
An AbilityScore® of 700–800 in Family Communication means your child is doing well in this area — they are connecting, sharing and responding within the warm back-and-forth of everyday family life. It points to a real strength to celebrate and keep nurturing, rather than a worry to fix. Remember, a score is one piece of a bigger picture, and only a Pinnacle clinician can place it in your child's full story.What this band tells you
Family Communication looks at how your child takes part in the natural give-and-take of home life — sharing attention, responding to familiar faces, expressing needs and joining in moments of connection. A 700–800 band suggests:- Strong relational connection — your child reaches out, responds and enjoys shared moments with the people closest to them.
- Reliable two-way exchange — there is genuine back-and-forth, whether through words, gestures, eye contact or play.
- A platform to build on — strengths here often support growth in language, social skills and confidence elsewhere.
A score is always read against your child's own baseline, alongside their age, temperament and home environment — never as a single verdict. A clinician will explain what this band means for your particular child and where the next gentle steps lie.
How to keep nurturing it
Strengths grow when they are used. Keep talking, naming feelings, reading together and following your child's lead in play. Celebrate the small daily exchanges — they are the quiet engine of communication and confidence.The Pinnacle way

What to watch
Even with a strong score, keep noticing whether your child stays interested in shared moments, responds to familiar people and gradually adds more ways to communicate over time. If you ever notice a clear drop in connection or back-and-forth, mention it at your next developmental check.
Try this at home
Follow your child's lead in play and conversation — pause, wait, and respond to whatever they offer. These small daily exchanges of attention are how communication strengths keep growing.
