The EDT – Elephant Drawing Test is an innovative tool for observing and assessing graphic development in children aged 4 to 7 years. By analysing a freehand drawing of an elephant and specific graphic elements, the test allows for the evaluation of both cognitive and motor skill development, as well as the identification of potential early indicators of developmental disorders.

The EDT can be used as part of a neuropsychological assessment or as a preventive screening tool to detect early signs of graphomotor and cognitive difficulties.
