The Beery VMI assessment is used to assess how well children process visual information and use it to produce a motor response using the small muscles in their hands and fingers to write or draw. The assessment involves one main test (VMI) where the child draws and copies increasingly complex shapes.

The motor control subtest requires the children to trace within a double-lined path.
