VMI stands for Visual Motor Integration - it's the subtest that requires copying designs. Since your ds scored high on symbol search and on Visual Perception on the Beery, it sounds like it's not an actual vision issue, but rather the ability for his brain to integrate visual information with fine motor. A lot of the exercises my dd did in vision therapy addressed that type of issue, but I can't tell you for certain whether or not VT would help your ds - since the psych suggested it, I'd consider going for an initial eval with a developmental optometrist that the ed psych trusts to be honest re assessments.
I think I might also ask the psych why average scores on the VMI and speed on block design would be a concern? FWIW, my 2e children's scores on their low subtests on the WISC and Beery were considerably below the scores you've listed.
