Abstract

This communication reports a comparison of handwriting characteristics of visually challenged persons vis-a-vis that of uninstructed, functionally illiterate persons with normal eye sight.

This study involves a comparison of handwriting characteristics in 80 samples, half of which were collected from trained, but visually impaired persons and the remaining half from untrained, but normal sighted persons.

The similarities and differences in the handwriting characteristics of the two groups have been analyzed on the basis of the null hypothesis and t test results.
