Poor visual-motor integration can contribute to motion sickness in children. When the brain has trouble processing and coordinating visual information with body movement, it can lead to a mismatch in signals, causing dizziness or nausea during activities like car rides or swinging. This disconnect between what the eyes see and how the body moves often triggers motion sickness.

Toe Walking

Poor visual-motor integration can contribute to toe walking in children, as the brain struggles to coordinate visual information with body movement, affecting balance and spatial awareness. Toe walking is often a way for children to compensate for these challenges. Other common causes of toe walking include muscle tightness, sensory processing issues, or developmental delays.

Spatial Awareness

Poor visual-motor integration can affect a child’s spatial awareness, making it harder to understand where objects are in relation to their body. This can lead to challenges with tasks like navigating obstacles, playing sports, and recognizing letter orientation. Difficulty with visual-motor skills may cause frequent letter reversals, like confusing "b" and "d," as the brain struggles to interpret and coordinate letter positions. It can also result in clumsiness and difficulties with everyday activities that require smooth coordination between vision and movement.
