Summary

This study tests an online version of a tablet-based assessment that asks children ages 3 to 7 to copy shapes, write letters, and cut paper. The goal is to see if the digital tool works as well as traditional pencil-and-paper tests, but is faster and more objective. Researchers will compare results from the tablet game with standard assessments and surveys completed by caregivers.
