Dysgraphia: How It Affects a Student's Performance and What Can Be Done about It
Crouch, Alyssa L.; Jakubecy, Jennifer J.
TEACHING Exceptional Children Plus, v3 n3 Article 5 Jan 2007
The purpose of this study was to apply two techniques, drill activities and fine motor activities, to find whether they help improve the handwriting of a student with dysgraphia. This action research used an ABAB single subject design to find which technique worked better over an eight-week period. The results were inconclusive on which technique worked better. However, the combination of both improved the subject's handwriting and increased his score by 50%. Therefore, this study suggests that using both techniques can help improve the problems associated with dysgraphia, especially in the area of handwriting. (Contains 4 figures.)
