Bender-Gestalt

Bender-Gestalt (Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test) is a diagnostic assessment to identify learning disability, neurological disorders, and developmental delay.  It is used with all age groups to identify possible learning disabilities, neurological disorders, mental retardation, and developmental delay.  Results provide information about motor coordination, memory, and organization. The test-taker is given nine designs on separate cards and asked to reproduce them on a blank sheet of paper. There is no time limit. The test is scored by professionals who consider a variety of factors, including form, shape, pattern, and orientation on the page.
