The Effects of Instructions and Reinforcement on the Handwriting of a 13-Year-Old Child in a Remedial School

Abstract
The effects of instructions and reinforcement on the handwriting of a 13-year-old boy in special education were studied. Both variables were found to be effective. A simple scoring method was used. It was found that the scoring system was easily learned by the child, and was sufficiently reliable to merit continued use under certain circumstances.
