%X The purpose of this study was to adaptation of Beery-Buktenika Developmental Visual-Motor Coordination Test and its sub-tests for 36-79 months old Turkish children. Test items and instructions were translated into Turkish and content validity were analyzed using expert views. Test was applied to 419 children and correlations among sub-tests were determined. Children¡¯s test scores were higher in older age groups. Correlations were statistically meaningful among sub-dimensions of the test and internal consistency reliability was above .70. Besides, test re-test analyses indicated timely consistent results (r.87-94). Beery-Buktenika Developmental Visual-Motor Coordination Test and criterion validity of sub-tests have been provided with similar comparable scales. Frostig Developmental Visual Perception Test was used as a comparable scale. A high correlation has been detected in and sub-tests between Frostig and Beery-Buktenika tests (0.87-0.80). In order to determine the validity of the test structure, comparison method was applied among the debated group, and finally the teacher¡¯s assessments have been taken into consideration. Therefore, the children¡¯s visual motor coordination development testing sufficiency or insufficiency results were detected based on the teacher¡¯s assessments. Results indicated that Beery VMI testing has been noticed as a reliable and valid measuring tool for children among 36-79 months
