Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Allied Medicine.
This research study investigated the validity of the visual motor portion of the Miller Function and Participation Scales (M-FUN), which was released in 2006. This was accomplished by comparing scores on the Visual Motor portion of the M-FUN with those on the Visual Motor portion of the Developmental Test of Visual Perception, Second Edition (DTVP-2). There were 40 students who participated in the study, between the ages of 4 ½ - 6 ½ years of age. Results indicate that the M-FUN had a high correlation with the DTVP-2 (r= .872). The two tests achieved 87.5% agreement in identifying the children with or without a deficit in the area of visual motor function. Therefore, the M-FUN can be considered to be a valid measure of visual motor function. Further research is recommended in validity of the M-FUN in relationships to other evaluation, the impact of verbal function on scores of the M-FUN and how evaluators use the scoring manual and testing results.
