Which assessment identifies visuomotor deficits and includes VMI, visual perception, and motor coordination as components?

• A. MVPT-4
• B. Beery VMI
• C. Miller MFPS
• D. None of the Above

Answer: (B)

Beery VMI is designed to identify visuomotor deficits by evaluating how well a child can copy geometric shapes, reflecting visuomotor integration. It uniquely provides three indices: Visuomotor Integration (the main VMI score), Visual Perception, and Motor Coordination. This combination lets clinicians see not only how the child integrates vision and hand movement, but also whether the issue lies in visual perception or in motor coordination separately. The other options don’t fit as neatly. The motor-free visual perception test examines visual perception without requiring motor output, so it doesn’t assess visuomotor integration. The Miller Function & Participation Scales focus on functional motor performance and participation, not specifically on visuomotor integration with distinct VP and MC subcomponents. None of the above is not correct because Beery VMI does meet the described components.
