How to Assess Ocular Motor Skills and 6 Activities to Improve Oculomotor Dysfunction

Ocular motor skills are the eyes' ability to visually track, copy from the board, safely navigate the environment, read, write, catch a ball, and more. As you can imagine, they are extremely important to everyday functioning! We see a lot of challenges come from ocular motor deficits in the clinic setting. This week's video will teach you how to screen for ocular motor challenges and implement some fun activities that will help the eyes work more efficiently together!
