Administration instructions are provided in the T.O.V.A. Clinical Manual. We’ve also prepared a short document called A Guide to Using the T.O.V.A. in Research that you should review before undertaking the design or implementation of your study.

In general, you should be sure to administer the T.O.V.A. at a consistent time in the morning, with the same directions (see the Guide or Clinical Manual), and with an examiner present in the room at all times during the administration of the T.O.V.A. The T.O.V.A. was normed as the first test given. Significant deviation from this procedure may impact your findings if you are comparing your results to the T.O.V.A. normative sample.
