Does anyone know if there is a "correct" or "best" age for a VMI to be done? ie would a 6 year old who scores average be accurate or would it likely decrease to below average as the writing requirements got harder at school?
mykids, the Beery VMI does not include any handwriting, it is a set of tests that includes drawing and copying - so I wouldn't expect a child's score on the Beery VMI to decrease as writing requirements at school increased. However, what I might expect to see is that a child who scores to be "ok" in early elementary might appear to be functioning ok in school, but their ability to keep up with writing demands as they move up in grades might decrease. Please note - I don't know what the cutoff line for a true "ok" really is - I suspect it varies with each child.
