Process in Further Developing the Handwriting System

Since Heidi works with the target population on improving handwriting, a combination of her expertise, journal articles, and online literature from occuational therapy facilities has been used in developing an understanding of the target population and approaches to improving handwriting.

In practice, this involved sitting and talking, looking at some relevant articles, and eating chinese food.

Now that we have a working idea, we will additionally consult some of Heidi's colleagues for feedback. Next steps include this consultation, acquiring the materials to build a prototype, and beginning the process of obtaining permission from the school and parents to test the system with children once the prototpye is in working order.
