The WRAVMA is a well-standardized tool that provides a reliable, accurate evaluation of visual-motor skills of children and adolescents ages 3-17 years. The WRAVMA assesses three areas using three tests: the Drawing (Visual Motor) Test, the Matching (Visual-Spatial) Test, and the Pegboard (Fine Motor) Test.
Features and benefits
- Attractive, easy-to-use materials with the flexibility you need. Although each WRAVMA test can be used individually, all three tests can be administered in combination, yielding a comparison of a child’s integrated visual-motor ability with the skill areas of visual-spatial and fine motor abilities.
- Relevant to school-related activities. Difficulties performing visual-motor tasks, such as copying from the chalkboard, drawing, or handwriting, can be linked to fine motor deficits, spatial deficits, and/or an integration deficit when motor and spatial systems are combined. The WRAVMA is uniquely suited to evaluate visual-motor ability because it makes meaningful distinctions between important contributing subareas.
- Psychometrically sound. The norms for each test were derived from the same standardization sample of 2,600 children, permitting a valid comparison of a child’s overall visual-motor ability.
- Comprehensive and economical. One set of materials can be used with children and adolescents ages 3-17 years.
- Fast. Each subtest takes only 4-10 minutes to administer.
The WRAVMA provides a Visual-Motor Integration Composite derived from the three separate subtest assessments of Fine-Motor, Visual-Spatial, and Visual-Motor abilities. A scaled score, standard score, age equivalent score, and percentile may be obtained for each of these subtests.
Reliability measures of the three subtests of the WRAVMA show internal consistency coefficients exceeding .90 and test-retest reliability coefficients ranging from .81 to .91. Construct validity is supported by item separations of .99.
