“…Furthermore, to our knowledge, there is only one test for the detection of handwriting difficulties that can be used for children before the acquisition of handwriting: the Shore Handwriting Screening for Early Handwriting Development (SHS) [7], usable from the age of three, but information on its psychometric properties is lacking, and no normative sample has been developed [6]. Further to this, different studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have shown that the score obtained on a well-known standardised reproduction test involving geometrical shapes, the Development Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI [15]), is a good predictor of handwriting skills.…”

Handwriting disorders (HDs) are mainly assessed using script or cursive handwriting tasks. The most common is the scale for children’s handwriting, with a French adaptation (BHK). The present study aims to assess the concurrent validity of a pre-scriptural task (copying a line of cycloid loops) with the BHK for the diagnosis of HDs. Thirty-five primary school children (7 females, 28 males) with HD aged 6–11 years were recruited and compared to 331 typically developing children (TDC). Spatial/temporal/kinematic measures were collected using a digital pen on a paper. Posture and inter-segmental writing arm coordination were video recorded. A logistic regression statistical method, including a receiver-operating characteristic curve, was used to assess the ability of the task to predict HD. Gestural patterns were significantly less mature in HDs than in TDC (p < 0.05), and associated with poorer quality, less fluid, and slower drawing (p < 0.001). Moreover, good correlations between temporal and kinematic measures and the BHK scale were found. Number of strokes, total drawing time, in-air pauses times, and number of velocity peaks showed very good sensitivity (88%) and specificity (74%) to diagnose HDs. Consequently, the cycloid loops task is an easy, robust, and predictive tool for clinicians to identify HDs before the alphabet is mastered.

“…Insufficient visual-motor skills resulted in reversal writing letters, lack of ability to copy a word from a visual board onto paper, missing letters during copying activity, and the absence of space between written words (5,6). In addressing these, literature supported that occupational therapy interventions such as biomechanical, neuromotor, cognitive, sensory integrative, compensatory and positive collaboration consultation approaches are effective to treat handwriting difficulty among children (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Many handwriting intervention foundation frameworks can be integrated to guide professional practice within a specific setting.…”

Introduction: Occupational therapists have been developing various handwriting intervention that has fundamental occupational goals with known validity to guide professional practice in the treatment of children with handwriting difficulties. This study aimed to explore the development and content validation of a developed handwriting intervention programme for children with handwriting difficulties. Methods: This study employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology based on the sequential exploratory design in two main stages. The first stage is the focus group discussion and followed by a validation procedure using face and content validity scored by the expert reviewers. A total of thirteen experts participated in this study. Results: The findings were analyzed thematically according to physical appearance, language used, and content in the developed programme. The face and content validity report a convincing value, ranging from 0.99 to 1.00 of S-CVI values on four aspects, relevancy, clarity, simplicity, and ambiguity in the developed programme. Conclusion: This study provided preliminary approval for the development and validation of a handwriting intervention programme for children with handwriting difficulties to support the demand in the Malaysian school curriculum.
