[quote=Anonymous]What is the thinking on left-handed scissors for children these days? Our 6 yo daughter has sensory processing issues and is seeing an OT, who insists that our daughter needs special left-handed scissors. (As an aside, this is the same OT who keeps saying her hand-dominance was unclear until recently, while all of the other adults in her life have always clearly seen her as a left-y). My husband and I are both left-handed, and both learned to use right-handed scissors - so I know it can be done, and frankly the idea of our daughter needing to request special supplies each time she's in an office setting seems silly if she can avoid it. I've never personally had access to left-handed scissors as far as I am aware -- but I realize things will be different in a generation and also that I sound pretty old-school... does the OT have a point?
