These skills also make sure your eyes can follow a moving target smoothly and are able to make accurate eye jumps from one point to another. Read more »

Visual Motor SkillsThe eye “sees” and then “tells” the body what to do.
Good visual motor integration helps with balance, coordination and movement. Understanding what we see allows us to trust the body movement that follows and help us learn new skills quickly such as learning a new sport or riding a bicycle. Read more »

Visual Auditory SkillsThis is the ability to recognise written symbols as a spoken word and, hence, is a necessary skill for learning letters and words.
The visual and auditory systems work separately and in combination with each other and with the other sensory systems to inform and guide the body’s internal and external actions. Read more »
