Comparison of Educationally Handicapped Students' Scores on the Revised Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and Bender-Gestalt

Abstract

32 elementary-aged boys enrolled in a program for the emotionally disturbed were administered the Revised Beery and Bender-Gestalt. A significant correlation of .73 was found between Beery and Bender age-equivalent scores. A t test for correlated data indicated mean scores did not differ significantly from one another, but scores were quite varied. The implications of such variability are discussed.
