Detailed explanation-1: -You may have heard that left-hand dominance is a sign of a learning disability. Rest assured, in most cases, left-handedness is a normal part of child development. While it is possible for left-handedness to coexist with learning disabilities or other health concerns, this is the exception and not the rule.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rate of learning disabilities was also much higher in the left-handers than in the right-handers in both investigations. In a second study the frequency of left-handedness was compared in patients with migraine or immune disease and in general population control subjects free of these disorders.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the time, left-handedness is simply a naturally occurring, normal variant. In some cases, however, it is disadvantageous and may well reflect a genetic defect or early developmental disturbance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusions.-There seems to be some association between dyslexia, left-handedness, and immune disorders. Of the three factors, handedness seems to be the most important association.
