Abstract

The ability to write one’s own name legibly is a critical lifelong skill for academic success. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the Handwriting Without Tears® program on teaching a five year-old how to write his first name using proper size, form, and tool. The participant was a five year-old boy enrolled in a self-contained special education preschool setting. A multiple baseline design across letters was employed. The overall success of the procedure led to the continuation of the intervention. The participant enjoyed the procedure and improved his academic skills.
