No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children who attend School-Based Occupational Therapy (SBOT) show mixed dominance and a liable decreased in the structural and functional differentiation between the two hemispheres. The lack of right-left disparity has been found to link to mirror invariance, poor spatial organization, fragmentary reversals, and handwriting difficulty. This study intends to find out, whether, Sensory Motor Lateralization (SML), "With" a rightward bias, profits handwriting more than the conventional (CON) "Without".

Conditions

  • Developmental Dysgraphia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

SML

SML consists of supervised handwriting practice, fitness exercises, and fine motor speed drills that preferentially belabor a participant's right eye, ear, hand and leg during therapy.

BEHAVIORAL

CON

CON consists of supervised handwriting practice, fitness exercises, and fine motor speed drills on the participant's dominant hand.
