What Is a Visual Motor Skills Delay?

Visual motor skills involve the ability to coordinate what the eyes see with the movements of the hands and body. A visual motor skills delay is when a child has difficulty with tasks that require this coordination.

Visual memory – the ability to remember things that were seen, such as numbers or instructions

These delays can affect various aspects of your child’s life, from school performance to participation in certain activities. Early intervention can help your child build these important skills and improve their overall development.
