Which areas are assessed using the Beery VMI?

• A. VMI, Visual Perception, and Motor Coordination
• B. Visual Perception Only
• C. Motor Coordination Only
• D. Visual Perception and Motor Coordination

Answer: (A)

Beery VMI measures how well someone can integrate what they see with how they move. It includes three related areas: Visual Perception (how well visual information is interpreted), Motor Coordination (how precisely movement is controlled), and Visual-Motor Integration (the actual perform-then-draw task that requires combining both processes). Because the test provides scores for all three areas, the best match is describing it as assessing VMI along with Visual Perception and Motor Coordination. This setup helps distinguish whether difficulties come from seeing and interpreting information, from moving accurately, or from the integration of seeing and moving, guiding where to focus support.
