| Summary: | This scoping mapped the evidence regarding pre-writing interventions for developmental disabilities and typically developing children. This review followed the PRISMA-Scoping Review guidelines. Evidence between January 2011 and July 2021 was retrieved from four databases: EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. Selected articles were evaluated for quality using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT). Ten articles were included in the study, with CCAT scores ranging between 68% and 85%. Findings were arranged in five themes: (1) pre-writing interventions, (2) pre-requisite handwriting skills, (3) protocol and interventions, (4) intervention pioneer, and (5) conveyance of interventions. Generally, pre-writing interventions were aligned with the pre-requisite skills of handwriting. Digitized-based interventions were commonly utilized and expanded in developing pre-writing skills. Acquiring effective pre-writing interventions for both populations will refine the handwriting performance. Further exploration of the integration of pre-writing skills with digitized-based intervention is required to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. © 2022 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
