A study of the motor skills of 60 children aged 8–13—30 who were sighted and 30 who had moderate low vision—found that the children with low vision had poorer motor skills than did the children who were sighted. Furthermore, the children with low vision had weaker gross motor skills, especially balance, than fine motor skills. Implications for intervention are discussed.
