Impact of the Kaligo Solution on Learning to Write in Children Aged 6 to 11 With Handwriting Disorders : KALIGO+

Sponsor: Fondation Ildys

Summary

Writing is a fundamental skill, crucial to a child's success at school and the development of independence. Around 30% of children present difficulties in learning to write, and for some of them (10%), these difficulties persist for a long time. Adapted learning can improve their handwriting. Initial studies into the use of new technologies (tablets, virtual reality headsets) have shown that they can help children learn to write. Attractive to children, these interfaces make it possible to apply new paradigms (e.g. enrichment of feedback \[sonification\], variation of writing media) that have proved effective, mainly with children with 'typical' development. The Kaligo+ solution is based on the latest scientific advances to offer an innovative approach to learning to write, particularly for children with significant difficulties in this area. This study proposes to test the benefits of the Kaligo+ solution on 15 children with writing difficulties. The main objective of this pilot study is to demonstrate improved writing performance following use of the Kaligo+ solution in children aged 6 to 11 with writing difficulties, using a Single Case Experimental Design (SCED) methodology.
