What is V.I.P. Testing?

V.I.P. refers to the assessment of Visual Information Processing skills.

This comprehensive assessment includes administration of tests to investigate some or all of the following aspects of perceptual development.

  • Visual-motor integration
  • Visual form perception
  • Visual-auditory integration
  • Visual perceptual speed
  • Visualisation
  • Visual memory
  • Spatial relations / orientation
  • Laterality and directionality


In the main, wherever possible, standardised tests are used in which the results can be compared to norms for chronological age or Grade level.

The V.I.P. assessment including discussion of results takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

The cost of a V.I.P. assessment is not covered by Medicare and includes a written report which is forwarded around a week or two after the test.

Please feel free to ask our staff about the current costs of V.I.P. assessment.
