Zusammenfassung:This study investigated the relationship between the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration-Revised (VMI-R) and written expression skills of 54 students (grades 2 to 7) with learning disabilities. Data analysis compared cognitive ability; visual motor skills; achievement in reading, math, and written language; teacher rating of written language skills; and background information on each student. Results indicated that the VMI-R appeared to contribute significantly to understanding of written expression skills in this population. (Contains 14 references.) (DB)
