Effects of the Use of an Immersive Virtual Reality Device on Handwriting in Children Aged 6 to 13 With Handwriting Difficulties ( RVALIGO )

Difficulties in learning to write affect a large number of children and can have a significant impact on their personal and professional future. To facilitate this learning process, develop fun, motivating and effective devices for the different skills involved in writing (motor skills, postural control, visual attention, letter recognition) is needing. Virtual Reality (VR) seems to be a promising tool for this purpose. The SCED (Single Case Experimental Design) methodology is adapted to this study to evaluate the impact of VR on learning to write, as it allows a high level of evidence and is applicable to a heterogeneous population such as that affected by difficulties in learning to write. The study will include an original study of 3 children and 3 replications of 3 children each. In total, 12 children will be included in four different settings. This study will determine whether VR
