Eye-Hand Coordination

Also known as: Hand-Eye Coordination, Visuomotor Coordination, Oculomotor Coordination

The ability to coordinate visual input with hand movements to perform tasks requiring precision, such as reaching for objects, writing, typing, or using tools. Eye-hand coordination involves the integration of visual perception, spatial awareness, and motor control. Deficits in this skill are common in autism spectrum disorder and can affect activities like handwriting, using a computer mouse, or manipulating touchscreens. Assistive technologies may provide haptic or auditory feedback to supplement visual guidance for users with eye-hand coordination difficulties.
