The aim of this study is to define whether there are any differences in the visual-motor integration skills of 60-72-month-old children at low and high socio-economic status as regard the age factor. The study was conducted on a total of 148 children consisting of 78 children representing low socio-economic status and 70 children representing high socio-economic status in the city center of Edirne. In the study, the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI-5th), which was developed by Beery-Buktenica (2004) and for which the studies of validity and reliability were made by Ercan and Aral (2011) after being translated into Turkish, was administered. It is reported that both the age and the status of being at low and high socio-economic status create a meaningful difference (p<.05) in the visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor integration of 60-72-month-old children at low and high socio-economic status and visual-motor integration mean score is higher for 66-72-month-old children and the children at high socio-economic status.
