General

Visual Motor Integration is the ability to reproduce shapes and represent the dimensions of and the relationships between objects. Weaknesses with visual-motor integration are quite common in persons with dyslexia and can cause difficulty with tasks such as copying information, lining up math problems, and is a contributory factor in reversals and rotations when writing.

An excellent tool for evaluating Visual Motor Integration is the VMI Test (Visual Motor Integration) by Pearson Education.
