The Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB) was developed for use as a diagnostic assessment tool and outcome measure. The current study aimed to investigate the content validity of version six of the Handwriting Assessment Battery (HAB\u2010v6).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A three round, online\u2010Delphi study was conducted with an international group of expert clinicians and academics experienced in adult handwriting assessment and\/or retraining. In round one, participants rated the importance of HAB\u2010v6 domains and the six subtests and recommended modifications to administration and\/or scoring procedures. In rounds two and three, participants were re\u2010presented with several HAB\u2010v6 domains where consensus was not reached and rated the importance of suggested modifications from round one. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics.

In round two, high consensus (&gt;70% agreement) was achieved on three proposed revisions: adding two subtests and modifying instructions for the copying subtest.
