Visual-motor Integration Delays

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.
