title: The Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration--3R and teachers' ratings of written language.
abstract: For a sample of 73 learning-disabled children, the relationship between scores on the Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration--3rd Revision and teachers' ratings of writing skills was investigated. After statistically removing the contribution of socioeconomic status, achievement, and intelligence, only handwriting was significantly related to scores on Beery's test. Given the limited diagnostic information provided by the test, psychologists are urged to select other measures in assessing students' writing skills.
