The Bender-Gestalt and WISC or WISC-R performances of two groups of 19 emotionally disturbed children matched in age (9–1 to 16–7) and Full Scale IQ were compared. Each child in one group had a medically documented seizure disorder; a matched child in the other group had no present or past indications of organicity. Neither Bender-Gestalt errors nor Wechsler IQs or Deviation Quotients differed significantly between the two groups. The emotionally disturbed children with seizure disorders could not be differentiated from the other emotionally disturbed children solely on the basis of Bender-Gestalt and Wechsler test scores.
