[quote=Anonymous]Can PPs with kids who took the VMI test share score breakdowns -- for example, my DS got a 97th percentile on visual perception and a 12th percentile on motor coordination, thus giving him an overall VMI score in the 39th percentile. The school system said that he "didn't have a problem" since, at the 39th percentile, the overall "integrated" score was in the "average" range. The school refused to provide any assistance in handwriting on this basis. But, obviously, a kid has a very difficult time functioning, particularly in writing tasks, with a motor coordination score at the 12th percentile. The ultimate diagnosis from a private neuropsychologist based on the VMI and a full battery of other tests was language disorder, dysgraphia, developmental coordination disorder, and ADD/Inattentive (the latter of which wasn't based on the VMI score but other testing).
