“I Don’t Know What’s Right and What’s Wrong”

Published by: Peter

This paper, I Don't Know What's Right and What's Wrong : Parent Perceptions of Support and Progress of Their Children With Handwriting Difficulties  was published by Literacy UKLA vol 60 Issue 2 This study was to understand parents' perceptions of their child's experience with handwriting and typing. Several practical implications roise from the findings including the need for (1) evidence-based guidance for individualised support for young people with handwriting difficulties, (2) increased resourcing and multidisciplinary collaboration to support children, (3) staff training around handwriting difficulties and (4) a commitment to family-centred practice in decision-making around support. My critique of this study is that what was spectacularly missing was any indication of which was the writing hand and whether this was their adept hand. Most if not all the (associated) difficulties area  consequence of writing with the non adept hand and the title should have been  " I don't know what's right and what's left!"
