Nellie van den Bos; Suzanne Houwen; Marina Schoemaker; Sara Rosenblum – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study tests a handwriting model for children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that displays the relationships between handwriting process and product characteristics, and the predictors of these characteristics. Structural Equation Modelling was used to test the model for children and youth with ASD (n = 50) and typically…

van den Bos, Nellie; Houwen, Suzanne; Schoemaker, Marina; Rosenblum, Sara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The aim of this study was to assess text generation and text transcription of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD, n = 67) and Typically Developing (TD) peers (n = 67). Participants (80.6% male, ages 9-14) produced a free-style handwriting task analysed for written content and handwriting legibility and speed. Findings showed…

Finnegan, Elizabeth; Accardo, Amy L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Although studies exist measuring the effectiveness of writing interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research assessing the writing skills for this group is sparse. The present study identified differences in the written expression of individuals with ASD compared to typically developing (TD) peers, using variables…

Li-Tsang, Cecilia W. P.; Li, Tim M. H.; Ho, Choco H. Y.; Lau, Mandy S. W.; Leung, Howard W. H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Impaired sensorimotor control, as a common feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), could be a driving factor to handwriting problems. This study examined the Chinese and English handwriting and sensorimotor skills of 15 ASD and 174 typically developing Chinese adolescents. Participants with ASD had lower writing speed and poor manual dexterity…

Grace, Nicci; Enticott, Peter Gregory; Johnson, Beth Patricia; Rinehart, Nicole Joan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Handwriting is commonly identified as an area of weakness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but precise deficits have not been fully characterised. Boys with ASD (n = 23) and matched controls (n = 20) aged 8-12 years completed a simple, digitised task to objectively assess handwriting performance using advanced descriptive measures.…

Kushki, Azadeh; Chau, Tom; Anagnostou, Evdokia – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
Functional handwriting involves complex interactions among physical, cognitive and sensory systems. Impairments in many aspects of these systems are associated with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), suggesting a heightened risk of handwriting difficulties in children with ASD. This scoping review aimed to: (1) survey the existing evidence about…
