“Approach” describes how the instrument assesses this construct, not the specific items. We never reproduce proprietary test items.
Normative data backing this construct.
“If you draw a line on paper and hand {child_name} the crayon, does {he_she} copy the line?”
Follow-up: “Is {his_her} line roughly the same direction as yours, or more of a general scribble?”
The same canonical item shows up on the developmental page with prerequisites, activities, and full developmental context.
