Assessing the motor and perceptive-visual performance of children with cerebral palsy (CP) is an important strategy for the delimitation of the occupational therapy interventions directed to the improvement of their performance and, consequently, to propitiate the development of skills which impact the writing and reading activities and school participation in regular education. This study aims to evaluate the visual perceptual skills, motor coordination and visual-motor integration in a five years old child with diparetic cerebral palsy. For data collection was used the Beery - Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and its suplementary tests. Data collection was conducted in a university clinic in a 60 minute session. A descriptive data analysis was made. The results revealed that the child had some difficulties while copying figures, identifying the same figures and conecting the dotted lines respecting the limits of the figure. These results point to the need to implement an intervention program for the improvement of deficit skills, since these skills are essential for the implementation of school activities. This study is still on trial and the intervention is in progress.
