Visual-Motor Integration

The coordination of visual perception with motor output, enabling activities like writing, drawing, catching a ball, or manipulating objects based on visual information. Visual-motor integration is commonly assessed using standardized tests like the Beery-Buktenica VMI in rehabilitation and educational settings. Deficits in visual-motor integration are prevalent among children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder, and learning disabilities, and can impact academic performance, daily living activities, and social participation in activities requiring coordinated movement.
