Abstract:
Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience challenges with motor skill development, leading to poor handwriting and hindering academic achievement. Various research studies support the use of gesture-based therapy games and tablet applications in improving motor skills and handwriting in children with ASD. However, there is a gap in research regarding the combination of therapy games and tablets to promote fine motor skills and handwriting in this population. This paper proposes a detailed study to test the experimental learning of an iPad app designed to enhance fine motor skills, ultimately aiming to improve handwriting in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The findings from this research could determine the potential of tablet games in enhancing fine motor skills in children with neurodevelopmental disorders and may pave the way for the development of more therapy apps focusing on motor skills and handwriting.
