Visual-motor integration involves the quality of Eye-hand coordination. It is the ability to accurately coordinate visual skills with motor skills. These skills are necessary for sports (catching and throwing a ball and hitting a ball), puzzles and blocks and writing and copying information. Deficits can cause:
- Difficulty copying from the board
- Writing delays/mistakes
- Letter reversals
- Poor work organization
- Misalignment of numbers in columns in math problems
- Difficulty in completing writing exams on time
- Poor posture when writing
- Inability to produce answers in writing even when the material is known very well.
Vision therapy integrates the vision and motor systems of the body to help eliminate these symptoms.
