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].

Academic skills necessary for visual motor integration:

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

Intended population[edit | edit source]

  • Target group: All ages
  • Children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)[2]
  • Children with traumatic brain injury[3]
  • Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder[3]

Technique
[edit | edit source]

Describe how to carry out this assessment technique here

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Autism spectrum disorder:

  • Children with ASD encounter heightened challenges in visuomotor integration[2][4]. This difficulty extends to issues with handwriting[5].
