Overview
This study will focus on (1) developing the Chinese characteristic-based VMI-focused program, namely visual-perception motor-coordination integration program (CCVPMCI) involving the most Chinese-handwriting-related skills training and (2) investigating the effectiveness of the CCVPMCI program on handwriting performance in children with handwriting difficulties in Taiwan.
Interventions
- Other visual-perception motor-coordination integration program
Visual-perception motor-coordination integration program (CCVPMCI) is a Chinese characteristic-based VMI-focused program involving the most Chinese-handwriting-related skills training. CCVPMCI mainly emphasizes the training role of visual-motor integration. The idea of CCVPMCI program will involve (1) visual motor integration training affiliated with visual perception and motor coordination as warm-up exercise, (2) more focus on visual spatial perception in connect with unique visual structure o
Primary outcome measures

- The change from baseline Chinese Handwriting Evaluation Form (CHEF) at one month and six months [Time frame: baseline, one month, six months]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- The change from baseline Developmental Test of Visual Perception - Third Edition (DTVP-3) at one month and six months [Time frame: baseline, one month, six months]
