Interventions

BEHAVIORALTesting of general motor skills, fine motor skills and occulomotricity

Recording of participant's performance during eye, fine motor and gross motor tests; Children's gross motor skills will be assessed through a biomechanical analysis. Eye movements will be recorded using the eye-tracking system (Tobii Pro TX300). The technique used is the corneal reflection technique.

BEHAVIORALQuestionnaires

Passing self and hetero questionnaires.
