Skill Set 2: Perceptual Motor

Perceptual motor refers to a person’s ability to hear something, interpret the meaning, and form an appropriate response. Importantly, the way a child organises their body and uses their muscles to respond to what they hear is a big part of overall literacy. The term perceptual motor has two parts:

 

  • Perceptual – input or receiving
  • Motor – output or responding
