[quote=Anonymous]I went through this with my 4 yo. He never showed a strong preference and we began to get feedback from school that his writing/grip was behind his peers. I went to an OT for a private eval, and although I was very clear that I was looking for help with the handedness issue, the OT report was completely useless. It was about his core muscle strength and described him as needing tons of OT to work on his core muscles. I felt like this was missing the point, because he was with or ahead of peers in gross motor activities like soccer. I ended up just making him choose a hand and use it consistently. I think it could have been either hand, but we made a decision and stuck with it, and his grip and writing have improved so much since he "specialized." He doesn't have any LDs, but he does have some traits that his sibling with ADHD also has. His hair whorl counterclockwise. I read online that this corresponds with ambidexterity or left handedness.[/quote]
