Comparison of Educationally Handicapped Students' Scores on the Revised Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and Bender-Gestalt.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Breen, Michael J. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Elementary school boys in a program for the emotionally disturbed were administered the Revised Beery and Bender-Gestalt. A significant correlation of .73 between age-equivalent scores was obtained. Although mean scores did not differ significantly from one another, scores were quite varied. The implications of such variability are discussed.…
