  Description: A rapid and accurate measure that can be used to screen for, and identify children with, visual-motor difficulties. It consists of geometric figures arranged in order of increasing difficulty, which children have to copy using paper and pencil as accurately as possible.

Purpose: A quick and reliable measure of visual perception and motor behaviour in children.

Benefits:

Two forms of the test enable fast screening and detailed assessment.
Quick to administer, making it suitable for very young children.
Virtually culture-free as it does not rely on letters or numbers.
Looks qualitatively at the causes of poor visual-motor integration.
