Developmental perceptual-motor disorders
Abstract:
To understand or even begin to conceive the problems of the perceptually-motor handicapped is an enormous task. We have developed our personalities and abilities in a stable and meaningful environment and our security lies in our ability to manipulate and give meaning to this environment. Imagine the difficulties that are faced by a child with perceptual-motor problems. By this, we mean that he has problems with: (1) inaccurate or distorted input in the fields of vision, audition, proprioception, kineasthesia and tactility, (2) inaccurate integration of this input, (3) inaccurate motor output or inadequate responses.
