This is not a rare condition for people with global dyspraxia but very, very

This is also Asa-- to a " T " !!!!

His OT and PT are constantly trying to work on him with crossing the

midline, and also somehow trying to find a dominant side.

Sometimes he uses one side for fine motor and the other for gross, and I

think with many things in life, this can happen and be ok, but I just totally

believe that for HIM, this is a huge issue that we have to work on.

When we have to have him switch hands or try to cross the midline, it just

takes WAY too long for him to actually be able to DO it, and you can literally

see it in his eyes that he is thinking of HOW to be able to do it, and that

his mind is working overtime to try and do it, which I know isn't " typical " .

hope this helps add some thoughts to all of this-- but you can add Asa into

the mix of the ambidextrous Apraxics
