CONT

Le développement moteur se rapporte à l'apparition et à l'évolution des fonctions motrices, soit les grands mouvements du corps (motricité globale) et les mouvements fins de la main (motricité fine). Ces habiletés progressent rapidement pendant l'enfance. Elles s'acquièrent par la pratique, par la répétition des mouvements, au fur et à mesure que la maturation de l'enfant le permet.
