Co-Ordination
What an AbilityScore of 900–1000 in Co-Ordination Means
An AbilityScore of 900–1000 in Co-Ordination is a top-band, reassuring result, showing your child's eyes, hands, body and balance are working together with strong, age-appropriate or advanced control. It is a wonderful foundation for confidence and independence — keep offering rich, varied movement play. A Pinnacle clinician reads this number alongside your child's whole picture, and only a Pinnacle centre forms a clinical AbilityScore or any diagnosis.
When your child scores at the very top of the Co-Ordination band, it is a moment to celebrate — a sign of strong, confident movement and a flourishing foundation.
In short
An AbilityScore® of 900–1000 in Co-Ordination means your child is showing strong, age-appropriate (often advanced) co-ordination — the smooth teamwork between eyes, hands, body and balance that powers everyday play and movement. It is a reassuring, top-band result: your child is moving, balancing and combining actions with confidence relative to their own developmental stage. As ever, this number is one calm snapshot, and a Pinnacle clinician reads it alongside the whole picture of your child.What this band actually reflects
Co-Ordination is the brain and body working together — and a top-band score tells you several encouraging things:- Gross-motor flow — running, jumping, climbing and balancing look smooth and well-controlled, not stiff or stumbly.
- Hand–eye teamwork — catching, stacking, scribbling or threading happen with growing precision.
- Bilateral co-ordination — both sides of the body cooperate, like steadying paper with one hand while drawing with the other.
- Motor planning — your child can think through and carry out a sequence of movements with confidence.
- Postural control — a steady, stable core that supports sitting, standing and active play.
A strong score here is a wonderful platform. It supports confidence, independence and even later skills like handwriting and sport. The healthiest next step is simply to keep offering rich, varied movement opportunities so this strength continues to grow.
Keeping a gentle eye
A high score is good news, not a reason to stop observing. Children grow in spurts, and one domain can race ahead while another catches up. Continue to enjoy active, playful movement, and revisit an assessment over time so your child's progress is tracked against their own baseline. If you ever notice a sudden loss of a skill your child once had, that always deserves a prompt professional look.The Pinnacle way

What to watch
A top-band score is good news. Keep an eye on balanced growth across other domains, and seek a prompt professional look if your child ever suddenly loses a movement skill they once had.
