What is the theory behind this Occupational therapy visual motor integration worksheet?
Visual Motor Integration is the coordination between our vision and hand movement which enables us to write, draw, build blocks etc. If visual information is not grasped correctly, the muscles will get an incorrect message. As a result, the individual will have jerky and inappropriate motor responses. Those who have a deficit in this area usually struggle in the academic field. Occupational therapy can help them to improve this ability through various exercises and techniques.
