Population: children of all ages and cognitive levels with neurodevelopmental disorders
Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-2)
Motor Assessment
STANDARDIZED
Looks at gross and fine motor control (measure: reflexes, sustained control, locomotion, object manipulation, grasping, and VMI)
Population: children (birth to 6 years) with motor, speech-language and/or hearing disorders
Toddler and Infant Motor Evaluation (TIME)
Motor Assessment
Assesses quality of movement (mobility, stability, motor organization, social/emotional abilities, and functional performance)
Population: birth to 3 years 6 months
Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration-VMI, 6th edition
Visual Motor Assessment
STANDARDIZED
Copies 24 shapes (in order of level of difficulty)
Assesses: visual motor integration
Population: 2 to 100 years
Developmental Test of Visual Perception, 2nd edition (DTVP-2) and Developmental Test of Visual Perception - Adolescent and Adult (DTVP-A)
Visual Motor Assessment
Assesses: visual perceptual skills and VMI for levels of performance and for designing interventions and monitoring progress
Looks at: eye-hand coordination, copying, spatial relations, visual-motor speed, position in space, figure-ground, visual-closure, form-constancy (DTVP-2) & VMI, composite index, motor reduced visual perception composite index (DTVP-A)
Population: 4-10 years (DTVP-2) and 11-74 years (DTVP-A)
Erhardt Developmental Vision Assessment (EDVA) and Short Screening Form (EDVA-S)
Visual Motor Assessment
Behavior rating scale to determine visuo-motor development that assesses involuntary visual patterns (eyelid reflexes, pupillary reactions, doll’s eye responses, voluntary patterns including fixation, localization, ocular pursuit, and gaze shift)
Population: birth to 6 months
Preschool Visual Motor Integration Assessment (PVMIA)
Visual Motor Assessment
STANDARDIZED
Evaluations visual motor integration and visual perceptual skills of preschoolers
Looks at: Perception in space, awareness of spatial relationships, color and space discrimination, matching two attributes simultaneously, and ability to reproduce what is seen and interpreted
Assesses fine motor skills and visual perceptual abilities separately; records behavioral observations during assessment
Population: preschoolers (3.5 to 5.5 years)
Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT-3)
Visual Motor Assessment
STANDARDIZED
Quick evaluation to assess visual perception (without motor components)
Looks at: spatial relationships, visual discrimination, figure-ground, visual closure, visual memory
Population: 4 to 95 years
Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-Vertical (MVPT-V)
Visual Motor Assessment
Evaluates individuals with spatial deficits (due to hemi-field visual neglect or abnormal visual saccades)
Population: children and adults with visual field cuts or without visual impairments; also appropriate for individuals with brain injuries
Test of Visual-Motor Skills (TVMS) and Test of Visual-Motor Skills: Upper Level (TVMS-UL)
Visual Motor Assessment
Assesses eye hand coordination skills for copying geometric designs
Looks for errors in motor accuracy, motor control, motor coordination, and psychomotor speed
Population: 2-13 years (TVMS) and 12-40 years (TVMS-UL)
Test of Visual-Perceptual Skills
Visual Motor Assessment
Assesses visual-perceptual skills and differentiates these from motor dysfunction (motor response not required)
Looks at: visual discrimination, visual memory, visual-spatial relationships, visual form constancy, visual sequential memory, visual figure-ground, and visual closure
Helps to develop intervention plan to address deficits that impact learning
