Purpose
[edit | edit source]

The Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI) is designed to identify challenges related to the coordination of visual and motor skills in both children and adults[1]. Difficulties in this area can affect the learning ability of children, but can also be an early sign of dementia. It is the most commonly used standardized test for testing the Visual Motor Integration[2][3] and mainly employed in educational, medical, and research context[4].

The Beery VMI is composed of one central task: Visual-Motor Integration (VMI), and two additional tasks: Visual Perception (VP) and Motor Coordination (MC). The Visual Perception and Motor Coordination both gather more information concerning an individual's abilities in the event of a poor performance on the VMI.

Academic skills necessary for visual motor integration:

  • Gross motor skills
  • Fine motor skills
  • Visual Perception
  • Visuomotor development

Intended population[edit | edit source]

  • Target group: Individuals aged 2-100 years[1][4]
  • Children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)[2]
  • Children with traumatic brain injury[5]
  • Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder[5]

Technique
[edit | edit source]

  • Administration time: Visual Motor Integration approximately 10-15 min. The supplemental Visual Perception (VP) and Motor Coordination (MC) tasks approcimately 5 min each[4].

Evidence[edit | edit source]

The psychometric properties of the Beery VMI are:

  • Test-retest reliability of 0.88[1]
  • Interrater reliability of 0.93[1]
  • The Beery VMI stood out in terms of psychometric properties among other instruments assessing writing readiness[6].
  • The Beery VMI is considered to be a culture-free assessment tool[7][8][9][10]

Autism spectrum disorder:

  • Children with ASD encounter heightened challenges in visuomotor integration[2][11]. This difficulty extends to issues with handwriting[12].
