WRITIC-assessment

Writing is an important skill that children need to participate in school, for cognition, and for learning to read and spell. Many children develop writing difficulties, which have negative consequences for their academic performance and self-confidence. The Occupational Therapy - Participation and the Environment research group developed the WRITIC-assessment, to identify and address writing difficulties at an early stage. WRITIC is available in Dutch, English, German and European Portuguese.
