TVMS-3

Test of Visual-Motor Skills, 3rd Edition

Purpose: Assesses visual-motor skill

Format: Paper and pencil

Age range: 3 years to 90 years

Time: 20-30 minutes

DETAILS:

The TVMS-3 assesses how well an individual can coordinate visually guided fine motor movements to copy a design while it is in sight. The test is used to determine whether there are any systematic distortions or gross inaccuracies in the copied design that could be the result of deficits in visual perception, motor planning, and/or execution. The scoring system has been greatly simplified, with no need for a ruler or protractor. Additionally, a single test replaces the two levels of the previous version (i.e., TVMS-R, TVMS-UL), making the test both easier to administer and more economical. The need for the alternate quick-scoring method that was offered previously for the TVMS-R has also been eliminated in this version.
