Very little work seem to have been done on the speed of handwriting. A certain pupil is said to be a to be a slow writer and in need of support through ICT. What does that actually mean? What are the norms? How fast do you need to be able to write - especially in an exam?
The work published in by Ken Dutton in 1990 - Handwriting under exam conditions: Establishing a baseline - is what I use as a basis for my work with such a pupil.

I have recently found another study. This topic seems to be well covered in a newer study published by PATOSS
