Motor skills are something related to using body parts for different activities.

There are basically two types of motor skills :

1) Fine motor skills, ex. movement of fingers, things that require smaller muscles and more precise control.

2) Gross motor skills, ex. running, kicking a ball etc. , anything that requires the body's major muscles. These generally develop before fine muscle skills, and much of preschool and early elementary education is focused on developing fine muscle control (holding pencils, writing, cutting with scissors, tying shoes, etc.)

Motor skills disabilities, therefore, are those categories of disability in which a person is unable to develop age-appropriate motor skills, without some other underlying reason (a person with a developmental disability may very well not be able to cut with scissors at age 8, for example, but that is a result of the cognitive disability). Very broad categories of motor skills disability would include students who have cerebral palsy, are partly or completely paralyzed, etc.

How does being left-handed impact individuals with disabilities?

Being left-handed can present challenges for individuals with disabilities, as many tools and devices are designed for right-handed use.
