How does visual-motor integration relate to handwriting?
Visual motor integration combines the ability to visually perceive a form and reproduce it with a motor response. For example, the ability to look at a circle drawn on a page and draw that form. This is an important component in learning to write letters and numbers. A child needs to be able to perceive the difference between a 5 and a 2 and move the pencil accurately to make the numbers legible and in the correct orientation.
