Handwriting difficulties: Introducing an instrument
Author(s):
Abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to produce an instrument for handwriting evaluation and to execute it on mentally retarded (MR) students.
This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and relationship study. 126 MR students (53 girls and 73 boys) ranging from 9 to 19 years old (13.23±2.17) from two exceptional children schools in shahr-e-rey participated in this study. A handwriting checklist made by the researcher was executed on all students. Data were analyzed by U-Mann whitney, one-way ANOVA, and Spearman rank correlation.
The test showed there isn’t a significant relationship between handwriting and laterality (p=0/196), sex (p=0/487) and age (p=0/449). There is a significant relationship between handwriting and grade (r=0/448, p<0/005), but no significant difference was seen between different grades. “separate writing” caused minimum legibility (81%), and “spacing” was damaged at the least (34.9%).
The frequency of handwriting difficulties in MR students showed that the necessity of professional attention in exceptional schools.
