Good fine motor skills gives us the ability to control small movements of the arms hands, and fingers. The aim of fine motor activities is to develop in hand strength, manipulation, and fluid movement.

Our sensory systems have a strong impact upon our arousal states and our ability to manage our own alertness. This is called sensory regulation.

Sensory integration (or sensory processing) refers to the way the nervous system receives messages from the senses and turns them into appropriate motor (movement) and behavioural responses.

Visual Motor Integration (VMI) is the effective, efficient communication between the eyes and the hands. It allows us to incorporate visual information and motor sensory information for both gross and fine motor movements
