Visual–motor integration performance in children with severe specific language impairment

Abstract

A small subgroup of children with severe SLI will also have poor VMI skills. The best predictor of poor VMI is receptive language scores on the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals. Children with poor receptive language performance may benefit from VMI assessment and multidisciplinary management.

Systematic Review of Visual Motor Integration in Children with Developmental Disabilities

“…Conversely, one study found no significant differences between genders for children four to 14 years old with severe language impairment [ 55 ]. There was no significant difference in mean performance between males and females; however, children with poor VMI skills also had poor receptive language skills [ 55 ].…”

“…Conversely, one study found no significant differences between genders for children four to 14 years old with severe language impairment [ 55 ]. There was no significant difference in mean performance between males and females; however, children with poor VMI skills also had poor receptive language skills [ 55 ]. VMI deficits in children with a language impairment component are common due to the interconnection between motor, visual, and integration difficulties.…”

“…VMI deficits in children with a language impairment component are common due to the interconnection between motor, visual, and integration difficulties. Overall, gender may impact VMI skills in children, but no definitive conclusions can be drawn at this time [ 53 , 55 , 56 ].…”

“…The current literature clarifies previous findings. Four of the five studies indicate significant differences between gender while one study found no significant difference [52][53][54][55][56]. Table 2 provides a summary of the findings.…”

Evaluation of the fine motor skills of children with DCD using the digitalised visual‐motor tracking system

“…At present, there is rare research on the visual‐motor coordination with digitalised equipment [9–12]. For example, David et al .…”
