Specifically devoted to perceptual abilities of preschoolers, PVMIA was developed to identify visual-motor integration deficits of children 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 years old. Specific skills addressed include perception of position in space, awareness of spatial relationships, color and shape discrimination, matching two attributes simultaneously, and the ability to reproduce what is seen and interpreted.
The test can be administered in approx. 20 minutes and scored in approx. 30 minutes. The PVMIA consists of two subtests. Drawing (8 items), which examines the ability to recognize and reproduce lines and shapes on paper, and Block Patterns (25 items), which examines the ability to recognize color and shape using 3-D blocks and to recognize and reproduce patterns created by assembling the same blocks. In addition, there are two Behavioral Observation checklists to assist in interpretation of test results.
Kit includes a manual, 20 Record Forms, Test Plates, 14 Shapes Blocks, Scoring Tools (Templates, Ruler, Primary, Pencil, and Screen). Latex free.
