Visual-motor integration is a key foundation for tasks like writing, drawing, cutting, and even completing puzzles. When a child struggles to coordinate what they see with how they move, it can affect their performance at school and in daily life. That’s where occupational therapy comes in. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we use engaging, hands-on activities to strengthen visual-motor skills and build confidence.
What Are Visual-Motor Skills?
Visual-motor skills refer to the ability to coordinate visual information with motor output. It allows a child to:
-
Track and move objects accurately
-
Align hand movements with what they see
-
Copy shapes, letters, or numbers
-
Perform activities like coloring within lines or buttoning clothing
When these skills are delayed, children may become frustrated, avoid tasks, or fall behind in school.
How Occupational Therapy Helps
Our occupational therapy sessions use play-based techniques to target visual-motor integration. Activities might include:
-
Using abacuses, bead mazes, and sorting tools
-
Tracing, drawing, and copying shapes
-
Building with blocks or puzzles
-
Games that require visual tracking and precise hand control
At OrbRom Center, every session is tailored to your child’s level and goals. Therapists break down skills into manageable steps, helping children achieve success while staying engaged.
Benefits Beyond Therapy
Improved visual-motor integration leads to better performance in:
-
Handwriting and schoolwork
-
Dressing and self-care tasks
-
Playing games and building peer confidence
We also guide parents on how to reinforce these skills at home with simple, everyday activities.
