Performance of the Visual-Motor Integration of Preschool Children in Hong Kong

摘要

Objective/Background: The Beery Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) is an important assessment tool used by occupational therapists working with children. The aims of this study were (a) to identify performance differences in the VMI between Hong Kong preschool children and their counterparts in the United States; (b) to develop local references for the VMI (fifth edition) for the preschool children in Hong Kong; and (c) to examine the dimensionality and the hierarchical ordering of the VMI items using the Rasch Measurement Model (RMM).
