Fine motor activities

Description:

Visual-Motor Activities (digital download - usable on a computer or iPad) was created for kids and older individuals with weak visual motor (VM) or fine motor (FM) skills, so they can reach proficiency while having fun. VM or FM is the ability to use one's hands in a proficient, coordinated way and demonstrate small, precise movements in coordination with the eyes. Those that struggle with this may have difficulty with pencil grip, forming letters, proper letter and word spacing, coloring in the lines, drawing, and linear writing across the page to name a few. FM skills develop gradually, and they improve at different rates and times for each individual. Therefore, anyone that wishes to exercise and improve FM skills can benefit from this publication. With repeated use, it can be used as an excellent remedial tool.

The publication is 99 pages and offers a variety of fun activities to strengthen this needed skill.
