Abstract
Objective:
This research sought to determine the effectiveness of the Handwriting without tears ® programme when used in a specialized school in Doha that caters exclusively to autistic students.
Method:
This was a quantitative experimental study which included two cohorts, a control group (n=18) improving their handwriting skills through traditional methods and a treatment group (n=18) that received interventions based on HWT curriculum and resources.
Results:
Both groups demonstrated improvements in their handwriting skills however
the treatment group exhibited greater difference between pre-test and post-test scores and mastered more competency levels using the HWT® interventions and resources.
Conclusion:
The study supports the usage of Handwriting without tears ® with autistic students when intending to improve their handwriting skills.
