Handwriting is a critical skill for school success. Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) often present with fine motor and visual-motor impairments that can affect handwriting performance, yet handwriting skills have not been systematically investigated in this clinical group. This study aimed to comprehensively describe handwriting skills in 20 school-age children with FASD. Children were tested with the Process Assessment of the Learner, 2nd Edition (PAL-II), and the Visuomotor Precision subtest of NEPSY, a developmental neuropsychological assessment. Participants performed below average on PAL-II measures of handwriting legibility and speed and on NEPSY visual-motor precision tasks. In contrast, PAL-II measures of sensorimotor skills were broadly within the average range. Results provide evidence of functional handwriting challenges for children with FASD and suggest diminished visual-motor skills and increased difficulty as task complexity increases. Future research is needed to further describe the prevalence and nature of handwriting challenges in this population.

手写是学校成功的关键技能。患有胎儿酒精谱系障碍 (FASD) 的儿童经常出现精细运动和视觉运动障碍,可能会影响笔迹表现,但该临床组尚未对笔迹技能进行系统研究。本研究旨在全面描述20名学龄儿童FASD的笔迹技能。通过学习者的过程评估 (第二版) (pal-ii) 和NEPSY的视觉运动精度子测试 (一种发展神经心理学评估) 对儿童进行了测试。参与者在PAL-II的手写易读性和速度测量以及NEPSY视觉运动精度任务上的表现低于平均水平。相比之下,感觉运动技能的PAL-II测量大致在平均范围内。结果为FASD儿童提供了功能性手写挑战的证据,并表明随着任务复杂性的增加,视觉运动技能降低,难度增加。需要进一步的研究来进一步描述该人群中手写挑战的普遍性和性质。
