VISUAL MOTOR AND HANDWRITING
Some studies have found visual motor integration to be more important than either fine motor skills alone or visual perceptual skills alone in determining whether a child will have good handwriting.
Children need good visual-motor integration to be able to copy basic shapes (diagonal lines, circles, squares, triangles, intersecting lines) before they are able to learn to form their letters correctly.
Visual motor integration delays may cause a child to struggle to copy numbers and letters correctly. The child’s handwriting may seem disjointed and lacking in flow. Handwriting may require lots of conscious effort, out of proportion to the task. Here are some ideas and strategies that you can practice at home with your children.
