Visual-Motor Integration

Visual-motor integration is the ability to coordinate what you see with how you move your body. It involves using visual information to guide precise movements, such as writing, cutting with scissors, or catching a ball. This skill combines visual perception—understanding shapes, sizes, and spatial relationships—with motor skills like hand control and coordination. Good visual-motor integration is essential for daily tasks, academic activities, and sports. When this ability is strong, individuals can efficiently interpret visual cues and respond with accurate, controlled movements. Challenges in visual-motor integration can affect writing, coordination, and learning tasks.
