Real feedback from the field
Occupational Therapists and school and clinical psychologists across the US share their experience with VMAT.
The VMAT was easy to administer and offered a quick, standardized score comparable to other visual-motor integration assessments. The summary report was helpful when writing up the evaluation. Overall, it was an efficient tool that saved time while still providing meaningful data.
The VMAT will be a genuine game changer in my practice. What really stands out is how much more diagnostic information it provides compared to traditional paper-and-pencil visual-motor assessments.
VMAT has completely transformed how we assess visual-motor skills. The instant scoring and comprehensive reports save us hours each week.
