ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate the impact of visual and haptic perception through multi-sensory training on improving handwriting skills in children with dysgraphia. A total of 30 children aged between 6 and 12 years with learning disabilities participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (15 children) and a control group (15 children). Theexperimental group received multi-sensory training that incorporated visual and haptic perception techniques, while the control group followed a conventional handwriting improvement program. The intervention lasted for three months, consisting of 36 sessions held three times per week. Handwriting legibility was assessed using the Evaluation Tool of Children's Handwriting (ETCH). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in the handwriting legibility of the experimental group following the intervention. These findings suggest that incorporating visual and haptic perception-based multi-sensory training can be an effective strategy for occupational therapists to enhance handwriting instruction and therapy for children with learning disabilities.
