4. Sensory Processing and Integration
Sensory processing or sensory integration refers to how our body
receives, understands, and uses information from the senses.
One component of this process is sensory integration, which
includes interpretation, coordination, and organization of
sensation. Efficient sensory integration enables us to plan
appropriate actions and behavior and learn new skills. Sensory
information comes from all senses and may originate from one’s
body (balance sense, joint and muscle sense, touch sense) or the
environment (sight, sound, temperature, and texture). The two
sensory integration components are sensory modulation and
sensory discrimination. These components are interrelated and
important for the acquisition of motor and perceptual skills.

5. Handwriting
Handwriting refers to the mechanical parts of the actual act of forming letters, numbers, strokes, lines, or simple/complex
figures to demonstrate graph motor skills. Below outlines the mechanical aspects of handwriting.
• Memory: Remembering and writing dictated letters
• Orientation: Orienting or facing letters in the correct direction.
• Placement: placement refers to a child’s ability to place their letters, numbers, words or sentence on a baseline or whether
they float his/her letters and numbers well above the bolded 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch margin of error depending on their respective
age or grade expectations.
• Size: A sizing error occurs when a letter or number is formed larger than the margin of error, which is 1 grade level below the
current.
• Start: A start error is noted when a letter or number is not initiated in the appropriate top-down form.
• Sequence: A sequence error is noted when a letter or number is not constructed in the appropriate order. The above start and
orientation errors are automatically sequencing errors as well.
• Control: Control errors occur when a child over-strokes, rounds, gaps, and points letters and numbers in the incorrect location.
Control errors may also include when mid-point positioning, as well as identical parts of letters and numbers, are uneven.
