My son, who is on the older end of 4, had an independent OT eval after his pediatrician diagnosed him with dyspraxia based on his exam and the school OT report. I just got a copy of her intake assessment, which included a Beery VMI at the 18th percentile and a PDMS--2 VMI at the 50th percentile. Is anyone familiar with these tests willing to hypothesize about why they would be so different, or to what extent they are assessing different things? Honestly, I was expecting percentiles in the single digits, so I am a bit relieved to see this, but would like to understand the differences between the VMI scores better. My impression of him is that he is a very good spacial thinker when motor is not involved, so maybe one test allow him to compensate for motor deficits more than the other? Thanks for your thoughts.
