Identify the presence & degree of visual perception & visual–motor difficulties in children 4 to 12


DTVP-3

Overview

Overview

The DTVP-3 is unique in that its scores are reliable at the .80 level or above for all subtests and .90 or above fore the composites for all age groups. The assessment scores are validated by many studies and features norms based on a large (N = 1,035) representative sample. The DTVP-3 yields scores for both visual perception (No motor response) and visual-motor integration ability and it is shown to be unbiased relative to race, gender, and handedness

  • Normative data were collected in 2010 and 2011
  • Norms were extended upward to age 12 years, 11 months
  • The composite scores have no floor or ceiling effects
  • Numerous eligibility and validity studies, including studies of the test's sensitivity, specificity, and ROC/AUC, have been provided
  • The study of item bias has been expanded
  • The overall look of the test was updated

Normative Data

Normative Data

The DTVP-3 has five subtests: Eye-Hand Coordination, Copying Figure-Ground, Visual Closure, and Form Constancy. The results of the five DTVP-3 subtests are combined to form three composites: Motor-reduced Visual Perception, Visual-Motor Integration, and General Visual Perception (combination of motor-reduced and motor-enhanced subtests). Subtests were assigned to a particular composite on the basis of the amount of motor ability required by their formats.

Norms based on a large (N = 1,035), representative sample. Normative data were collected in 2010 and 2011.
