The goal of the Handwriting at a Distance project was to help special education students develop their handwriting skillset. This is a very hard skill to teach through distance learning on a typical laptop because of its vertical screen. This project provided a tablet for 10 students to practice writing with a stylus in a proper grip. Students often have occupational therapy goals that are served through handwriting practice - fine motor control, motor planning, and appropriate grip are some examples. Students who are beginning to write or trace can follow a line on a screen to trace shapes, letters, their names, and even sentences. There is a strong learning correlation between saying a word, writing that word, and being able to read that word. By the end of the project, handwriting samples showed smooth, confident writing with consistently formed letters.
