The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sex, age, level and etiology
of intellectual disability on visual-motor integration in children with
intellectual disability. The sample consisted of 90 children with intellectual
disability between 7 and15 years of age. Visual-motor integration was measured
using the Acadia test of visual-motor integration. A multiple regression analysis
was used for data analysis. The results of this study showed that sex, level of
intellectual disability, and age were significant predictors of visual-motor
integration. The etiology of intellectual disability did not play a significant
role in predicting visual-motor integration. Visual-motor integration skills are
very important for a child's overall level of functioning. Individualized
programs for the remediation of visual-motor integration skills should be a part
of the curriculum for children with intellectual disability.
