Quantitative Evaluation of Handwriting Skills during Childhood.

CONCLUSION: In the development of handwriting skills, our study suggests that accuracy develops in an earlier stage and then the ability of speed control develops in the next stage. The new method developed in this study is expected to be useful as a tool for evaluating handwriting skills. Our method might be useful in evaluating and supporting children with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, who are often affected by a lack of dexterity．.
