If visual scanning and fine motor skills integration are the main issues, then tasks that require sustained visual attention and precise motor coordination may be particularly challenging. Some examples of activities that may be impacted include:
1. Handwriting: Difficulty with fine motor skills and visual-spatial integration can make it hard to form letters accurately and consistently, leading to messy or illegible handwriting.
2. Reading: Poor visual scanning skills can make it difficult to track words on a page, leading to slow reading speed and poor comprehension.
3. Typing: Accurately typing on a keyboard requires the ability to quickly and accurately locate keys, which can be challenging if visual-motor integration is impaired.
4. Driving: Safe driving requires the ability to quickly and accurately scan the environment, identify potential hazards, and make precise motor movements to steer, brake, and accelerate.
5. Sports: Many sports require the ability to quickly and accurately track a moving object (such as a ball) and make precise motor movements to catch, throw, or hit it.
6. Art and craft activities: Activities such as drawing, painting, or sewing require precise motor coordination and the ability to accurately translate visual information onto a page or canvas.
7. Daily living tasks: Tasks such as buttoning a shirt, tying shoelaces, or using utensils can be challenging if fine motor skills are impaired.
