Haptic Guidance to Support Handwriting for Children With Cognitive and Fine Motor Delays.

Handwriting is an essential skill for developing sensorimotor and intellectual skills in children. Handwriting constitutes a complex activity relying on cognitive, visual-motor, memory and linguistic abilities, and is therefore challenging to master, especially for children with learning difficulties such as those with cognitive, sensorimotor or memory deficits. Recently-emerged haptic guidance systems have a potential to facilitate the acquisition of handwriting skills in both adults and children.
