Description: The 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 sample(Click image to Enlarge) Changes to the new 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. The THS-R was normed on 1,500 U.S. individuals.
