(WRAVMA) Wide Range Assessment of Visual Motor Abilities
Ages: 3 through 17 years
Administration: 4 - 10 minutes per subtest
The WRAVMA lets you assess and compare visual-spatial, fine motor, and integrated visual motor skills using norms gathered from the same sample. Designed for 3- through 17-yearolds, WRAVMA includes three subtests, which can be used individually or in combination. The three areas were selected because of their relevance to school related activities. Difficulties performing visual-motor tasks, such as copying form the chalkboard, drawing, or handwriting, can be linked to either fine motor deficits, spatial deficits and/or to an integration deficit when motor and spatial systems are combined.
Subtests:
• The Drawing Test: measures visual-motor integration by asking the child to copy designs that are arranged in order of increasing difficulty
• The Matching Test: assesses visual-spatial skills by asking the child to look at a visual "standard" and select the option that "goes best" with it.
• The Pegboard Test: evaluates fine motor skills by asking the child to insert as many pegs as possible, within 90 seconds, into a waffled pegboard. Norms are provided for both dominant and nondominant hands.
Technical information:
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. 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.
