29 Jul Is My Child Ambidextrous?
As a pediatric occupational therapist, parents routinely ask me if their child is ambidextrous. Parents often confuse a child’s lack of hand dominance as a sign of being ambidextrous. In this week’s video, I discuss tips to understand how to determine if your child needs help with choosing a dominant hand. Additionally, I provide tricks to point you in the right direction. You can also read this previous post about eye dominance to learn more about what is discussed in the video.
