Method: Test of Visual–Motor Skills-Revised” (TVMS-R) were administered on 58 students with LD. TVMS-R has 8 categories and it is based on copying some geometric designs. All of the categories need visual–motor integration skill. From this students, 23 subjects from second, third and fourth grades were selected, and randomly were divided into two groups, case group (11) and control group (12). Then case group received occupational therapy interventions for 16 sessions. As the post test, TVMS-R was administered for the two groups. Result: Findings displayed significant difference in visual–motor skill and its parts such as visual–motor integration between case and control groups. (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Occupational therapy interventions had significant effect on the visual–motor integration skill in children with LD.
