The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child development led institutions to create contingency plans to
strengthen student skills. At CAL, a decline in writing performance was identified after students returned to in-person
learning. To address this issue, an evaluation was conducted to assess the impact on visual perception and motor
coordination skills in third, fourth, and fifth-grade students. This assessment also served as a base line for guiding a
handwriting program. 236 elementary school students have been assessed using complementary subtests from the
VMI evaluation, revealing that most students showed improved visual perception. However, motor coordination was
negatively affected.
The findings indicate that the pandemic caused a delay in fine motor coordination development, which is essential for
graphomotor skills. These results highlight the importance of implementing targeted interventions to support
students in recovering and enhancing their writing abilities.
