Abstract
The paper will report on work in progress that aims to give children with dyspraxia a playful and physical experience in developing handwriting skills using the specialist animation technique known as rotoscopy. This technique has been investigated in order to identify whether motivation and engagement can be increased by using a performance-led approach which would allow children to practice handwriting using gross motor skills, for example bodily movement and gesture. A user-centred methodology is being used to identify requirements of dyspraxic children and a pedagogical context for the rotoscopy prototypes.
