This revision of Marianne Frostig's popular Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP) improves this classic test. Administered to more than 6 million children in its original format, the DTVP-2 continues to provide a useful measure of visual perception and visual-motor integration skills in children. The Second Edition can be used with 4- through 9-year-olds. Individually administered in just 35 minutes, it is composed of eight subtests:
-
Eye-Hand Coordination
-
Spatial Relations
-
Figure Ground
-
Visual-Motor Speed |
-
Copying
-
Position in Space
-
Visual Closure
-
Form Constancy |
The DTVP-2 provides scores for both pure visual perception (with no motor response) and visual-motor integration abilities. These scores are reliable (.8 or .9 levels) for all age groups. Norms are based on a large sample, representative of 1990 U.S. census data, and studies have shown that the test is unbiased in regard to race and gender. Because it documents the presence and degree of visual-perceptual and visual-motor difficulties, the DTVP-2 is especially useful in identifying candidates for special programs. It is also helpful in verifying program effectiveness and providing evidence of possible organic impairment. |
