  1. Test of handwriting skills-revised Author: Michael Milone, PhD Cassie Legg & Chris Matzye

  2. Characteristics • Age range: • 6.0 years through 18.11 years (manuscript) • 8.0 years through 18.11 years (cursive) • Visual-motor (sensory) integration • Individual/group administration • Domain: Handwriting • Neurosensory integration

  3. Purpose • Assesses neurosensory integration ability as evidenced by manuscript or cursive writing • Determines if neurosensory integration difficulties contribute to learning problems (should be used with other assessments) • Monitors progress of students with disabilities • Guides instructional or rehabilitation practices • *NOT a classroom penmanship test

  4. Test • 10 Subtests • Testing time • 10 minutes to administer • 15 minutes to score • Test cost • Kit (manual, 15 manuscript test booklets, 15 cursive test booklets, 30 record forms, and training video= $150.00 • Manual= $60.00

  5. Test development and standardization • Majority of standardization tests were done on children ages 6-10 • Type of task and order of subtests remained the same as the original version because literature found them to still be valid • Bias was tested and was not evident • the U.S. population (region, race/ethnicity, gender, parent education) based on U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000 • N= 1608 • Ages 6 through 18.11

  6. Psychometric properties

  7. Test procedures • Establish everyday writing style of student (manuscript or cursive) • Standardized methods • Use the exact wording in the instruction manual • Test must be administered in order beginning with Subtest 1 and ending with Subtest 10 (utilize abbreviated assessment when time is limited: Subtest 6 & 7) • Can be administered individually or in small groups but additional administrators are recommended for groups • Subtests 1 & 2 are timed • Note any behaviors that contribute to performance or suggest an underlying problem

  8. Example of test items

  9. Scoring

  10. Scoring and interpretation

  11. Area of occupation addressed • Education • Formal education participation

  12. Assessment approach • Bottom-Up • Uses letter formation to assess neurosensory integration

  13. Application of assessment • School system • Private practice

  14. Frame of reference • Sensory integration • Looks at neurosensory integration skills

  15. Measurement concerns • Competency in scoring and interpretation
