Motor skills are the movements and tasks we perform every day which enable movement with a certain outcome. Fine motor skills are those which utilize smaller muscles for instance in the hand and the ability to use a fork.

​

These movements require the ability to feel, think, and plan the outcome. For instance, the picture shows kids performing a handstand on a couch next to a window. They must implement control and awareness not to put their foot through the window.

​

Gross Motor Skills are the movements of the big muscles while fine motor skills are those of smaller muscles in hands, wrists, etc.

​

Dyspraxia is commonly referred to as a neurological disorder associated with the development motor coordination in children.
