IOWAN is a curriculum-based measurement designed to screen handwriting accurancy (legibility) and fluency (speed). User can administer to an individual or to a classroom (grades 1-5). IOWAN includes two different handwriting data collection passages. The Grade Level passage compares the student's handwriting skills to same grade and gender students. The Taylor passage, which is used for all grades and genders, compares the student's handwriting skills to the same-grade students as well as allowing the examiner to view this student's handwriting along the developmental continuum. The difficuluty of the passage does not change as it does with the Grade Level passages. This screening tool (not a diagnostic tool) was developed by Iowa AEAs Occupational Therapists and OT Assistants and Students/Educators in the Occupational Therapy University Program. Contents: manual which includes growth charts, cover sheets, frequency charts, percentile ranks and a norms summary. Circulation restricted to Keystone AEA Special Education staff. | |
