Visual-Perceptual and Visual Motor Integration Skills

These skills involve the brain's ability to make sense of information from the eyes and coordinate this with hand and body movements. These skills are used by children when completing jigsaws, handwriting and reading. Difficulties in managing these skills can indicate an underlying problem in skills such as visual memory or attention. Screening assessments help to pinpoint the source of difficulty. This can guide appropriate further referral and teaching of targeted strategies.
