CONT

There are two types of motor disabilities. An individual may have difficulty coordinating large muscles, such as the muscles of the arms and legs, and have what is called a gross motor disability. On the other hand, a person may struggle to use smaller muscle groups, such as those in their hands, and have a fine motor disability.

OBS

Although there is a distinction between "disability" and "disorder," both designations are used interchangeably in this context.
