Objective: The purpose of this investigation is to assess visual-motor functioning and the determination of visual-motor age in children with specific learning disorders (SLD). Method: In this survey study, 58 students with SLD were recruited, and Test of Visual-Motor Skills - Revised (TVMS-R) (Farahbod & Minaee, 2002), was administered to determine visual–motor age, and then compared to their calendar age. TVMS-R has 8 categories and it is based on copying some geometric designs. Results: Significant difference on visual-motor age and calendar age was found for all grades (first grade up to fifth grade). Conclusion: Visual-motor age in children with SLD in elementary grade is lower than their calendar age.
