Study facts were analysed by means of a statistics pack program. Study results indicate that mean scores of children with special needs in WRAVMA are 11.21 in the drawing sub-test, 52.09 in the matching sub-test and 53.01 in pegboard sub-test. Study findings indicate that children’s visual-motor skills are not correlated with their age, diagnosis (p>0.05), but they are correlated with age in the matching sub-test, family kind in drawing and matching sub-tests and number of children in the family in matching and pegboard sub-tests (p0.05).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0081/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
