Exploratory study on the use of haptic feedback for graphomotricity enhancement

Handwriting ability is crucial for children's overall development, as it helps improve their sensory, motor, and cognitive skills. The link between the writing task and theories of Embedding seems to be evident: writing can be considered as an action experience, a representational form of movement that involves physical qualities and influences cognitive processes; as an action experience it shapes the perception of context throughout life. However, writing involves a range of complex skills, such as memory, language, and hand-eye coordination, making it a challenging task to learn, particularly for children who struggle with learning disabilities like intellectual disabilities, motor disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders. In recent years, newly developed haptic guidance systems show potential in aiding both adults and children in acquiring the skill of handwriting
