Abstract

Many children have physical, cognitive, motor, and other limitations that influence their ability to develop handwriting skills. Recently, haptic technology is gaining rising interest as an assistive technologies to improve the acquisition of handwriting skills for children with learning difficulties. In this paper, we introduce a method and an experimental protocol to evaluate the quality of handwriting for children with learning difficulties. We developed a copy work task comprising four categories of handwriting tasks, namely numbers, letter, shapes, and emoticons (a total of 32 tasks, covering low to high complexity handwriting tasks). Results demonstrated that shapes are more difficult to learn than emoticons, even though emoticons are more complex to construct. This is probably due to the fact that children are more familiar with emoticons than abstract shapes. Findings in this study are crucial for developing a longitudinal experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of various haptic guidance methods to improve learning outcomes for children with learning difficulties.
