This study was planned to adapt the Beery-Bikutenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration(VMI-5th) (Beery & Beery 2004)for Turkish children with six ages (60-72 month), whose original was developed by Beery-Buktenica. The instruction of test was translated into Turkish and the content validation was examined in line with the opinion of specialists. The form which finalized in line with the opinions of specialists was applied to 206 children and the correlation between subtest of inventory were examined. It was determined that the correlation between all test were meaningful (p<.01). Internal consistency reliability coefficients were calculated and retest correlation, it was determined between .67-.79. As a result of test-retest correlation, it was determined that the test provided consistent results over time (r.72-.84). The outputs obtained from the Frostig Visual Perception Test which was applied due to similar scale validity with Beery-Buktenica VMI(-5th) were determined as consistent (p<.05). For the criteria validity of the test, teacher assesstments were taken as the basis and it was determined that those children whose visual-motor integration development was poor and good than peers according to the Beery-Buktenica (VMI-5th), was also poor and good according to the teachers. In line with the findings, it has been determined that the Beery-Buktenica (VMI-5th) constitued a valid and reliable measuring tool for six years old (60-72 month) Turkish children.
