The TVPS-3 uses black and white designs as stimuli for all of the perceptual tasks arranged in a developmental progression. Responses are made vocally or by pointing, which is ideal for children who may have motor, speech, hearing, neurological, or cognitive impairments. There are 16 plates for each perceptual area; each is normed separately so that you can reliably differentiate the various visual perceptual processes.
The TVPS-3 provides new, nationally stratified norms based on data from over 2,000 children. Scores are presented as individual subtest scaled scores and one overall standard score; this allows the TVPS-3 scores to be compared easily to scores from other standardized tests. Percentile ranks and age equivalents are also provided.
