This research aims to evaluate how immersive virtual reality VR training can help children aged 6 to 13 who have difficulties learning to write. Writing challenges affect many children, especially those with motor disabilities or attention disorders, impacting their development and academic success. The study uses a Single Case Experimental Design SCED to provide strong evidence by observing individual changes with and without the VR intervention. Participants will first undergo a baseline phase lasting 2 to 6 weeks, where they continue their usual handwriting exercises on paper with their therapists. Then, in an 8-week intervention phase, they will continue these exercises but also use a VR headset for 15 minutes during each session twice a week. The VR training aims to improve motor skills, postural control, visual attention, and letter recognition through interactive virtual environments. Throughout the study, childrens handwriting skills will be assessed regularly using the Evaligo tool and other measures like motor skills, visual attention, and motivation. Assessments occur at baseline, during the intervention, and at specific visits to evaluate the sense of presence in VR and satisfaction with the training. This detailed monitoring helps determine whether VR can effectively support handwriting learning over the course of up to 14 weeks.
