Definition of Visual Skills?
Visual skills can be divided to into two main categories: visual perceptual motor skills and ocular motor skills. Many of these visual skills are developed post-natally and often involve processing visual (sight) and other sensory input.

Visual perceptual motor skills
Visual perceptual motor skills involve processing and using visual information. These skills also help with planning and guiding eye/body movements.
Visual memory (eg recall visual information in chunks or in spatial/temporal sequence)
Visual spatial (eg mapping locations, direction concepts)
Visual analysis (eg matching, discriminating, identifying)
Visual motor integration (eg hand-eye coordination, visually guided mobility)
Visual auditory integration (eg matching sounds with image or symbol, decoding & encoding auditory to visual information)
Visualization (eg manipulation – can imagine flips & rotations or image, other)
