rotoscopy handwriting prototype using computer animation technique to assist the teaching of handwriting for children with Dyspraxia
International Conference on Information Technology: New Generations, 2011Co-Authors: Muhammad Fakri Othma, Wendy KeaybrighAbstract:We explain the implementation of series of prototypes to assist the teaching of handwriting skills for children with Dyspraxia, using a computer animation technique called Rotoscopy. We discuss usability testing issues which include parameters and scales used to evaluate the prototype systems.

rotoscopy handwriting interface for children with Dyspraxia
Advances in Computer-Human Interaction, 2011Co-Authors: Muhammad Fakri Othma, Wendy KeaybrighAbstract:We discuss the design and development of computer-animated interface for children with Dyspraxia using a specialist animation technique known as Rotoscopy. The technique may provide an engaging environment for children with Dyspraxia to improve their handwriting skills, thus increase their motivation and self-esteem towards learning. Keywords-Animation technique; prototyping, learning difficulties

using rotoscopy technique to assist the teaching of handwriting for children with Dyspraxia
Advances in Computer-Human Interaction, 2010Co-Authors: Muhammad Fakri Othma, Wendy KeaybrighAbstract:The paper will report on work in progress that aims to give children with Dyspraxia a playful and physical experience in developing handwriting skills using the specialist animation technique known as rotoscopy. This technique has been investigated in order to identify whether motivation and engagement can be increased by using a performance-led approach which would allow children to practice handwriting using gross motor skills, for example bodily movement and gesture. A user-centred methodology is being used to identify requirements of dyspraxic children and a pedagogical context for the rotoscopy prototypes.

autosomal dominant rolandic epilepsy and speech Dyspraxia a new syndrome with anticipation
Annals of Neurology, 1995Co-Authors: Ingrid E Scheffer, R A Howell, Marlei Pozzebon, Michael M Saling, L Jones, Samuel Frank BerkovicAbstract:We describe a family of 9 affected individuals in three generations with nocturnal oro-facio-brachial partial seizures, secondarily generalized partial seizures, and centro-temporal epileptiform discharges, associated with oral and speech Dyspraxia and cognitive impairment. The speech disorder was prominent, but differed from that of Landau-Kleffner syndrome and of epilepsy with continuous spike and wave during slow-wave sleep. The electroclinical features of this new syndrome of autosomal dominant rolandic epilepsy resemble those of benign rolandic epilepsy, a common inherited epilepsy of childhood. This family shows clinical anticipation of the seizure disorder, the oral and speech Dyspraxia, and cognitive dysfunction, suggesting that the genetic mechanism could be expansion of an unstable triplet repeat. Molecular studies on this syndrome, where the inheritance pattern is clear, could also be relevant to identifying a gene for benign rolandic epilepsy where anticipation does not occur and the mode of inheritance is uncertain.

speech and language impairment and oromotor Dyspraxia due to deletion of 7q31 that involves foxp2
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2006Co-Authors: Susa Zeesma, Malgorzata J M Nowaczyk, Ikuko Teshima, Wendy Roberts, Janis Oram Cardy, Lili Senma, Lars Feuk, Lucy R Osborne, Stephe W SchereAbstract:We report detailed clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings in a girl with a deletion of chromosome 7q31-q32. This child has a severe communication disorder with evidence of oromotor Dyspraxia, dysmorphic features, and mild developmental delay. She is unable to cough, sneeze, or laugh spontaneously. Her deletion is on the paternally inherited chromosome and includes the FOXP2 gene, which has recently been associated with speech and language impairment and a similar form of oromotor Dyspraxia in at least three other published cases. We hypothesize that our patient's communication disorder and oromotor deficiency are due to haploinsufficiency for FOXP2 and that her dysmorphism and developmental delay are a consequence of the absence of the other genes involved in the microdeletion. We propose that this patient, together with others reported in the literature, may define a new contiguous gene deletion syndrome encompassing the 7q31-FOXP2 region. Cytogenetic and molecular analysis of this region should be considered for other individuals displaying similar characteristics. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
