Effectiveness of the Occupational Therapy Handwriting Intervention Guideline on Children

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Occupational Therapy Handwriting Interventions Guidelines (OTHIG) in enhancing handwriting performance among children. Method: Forty-two children recruited from private centers with occupational therapy indications and with handwriting issues, aged five to nine years, will be assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants will receive a total of 10-week sessions, including training, intervention, and outcome measures. The experimental group will receive the developed OTHIG during handwriting skills intervention. Meanwhile, the control group will receive conventional interventions which not exposed to the OTHIG. This study is expected to provide evidence for the effectiveness of using the developed OTHIG to OTs in delivering their services, targeting children struggling with handwriting skills.
