Visual-motor integration difficulties can foreshadow learning problems.

The Test of Handwriting Skills-Revised (THS-R) is an untimed, clinical assessment of neurosensory integration skills evident in handwriting (both manuscript and cursive) that are often disrupted in students with learning difficulties. The THS-R provides standardized assessment of children's handwriting ability for both manuscript and cursive styles that can be used with any of the popular handwriting programs (such as Palmer, Zaner-Bloser, D'Nealian).
The THS-R is not a classroom assessment of penmanship.
 
Results of the THS-R can be used to:
  • identify neurosensory integration problems
  • monitor progress of students with disabilities
  • determine if neurosensory integration difficulties are contributing to students' learning problems
  • guide instructional or rehabilitation practices
 
Changes in this edition include:
  • norms extended through age 18 (manuscript and cursive)
  • nationally stratified norms
  • simplified scoring procedures
  • clarified scoring criteria
  • handwriting exemplars that reflect current styles including D'Nealian, Handwriting Without Tears, Universal, and Zaner-Bloser
  • abbreviated administration procedures
  • scoring examples
  • scoring training video
 
Testing and scoring time approximately 25 minutes. The Manual now provides guidance on how the THS-R can be used for progress monitoring. Also included is a video tutorial to assist practitioners in the scoring process. Subtest scores are reported as scaled scores and percentile ranks, and an Overall standard score has been added.
