CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Researchers have not yet found a genetic link between dyslexia and handedness and individuals with dyslexia, a learning difficulty that impacts on reading, writing and spelling abilities, are split 50:50 between right and lefthandedness. However, there are fewer lefthanded people in the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the students were divided into two groups as right-handers (EHI +1 to +100) and left-handers (EHI-100 to-1) using the broadest definition of handedness, a higher percentage of left-handers was found in the dyslexic group (17.8% vs. 8.9% in the control group).

Detailed explanation-3: -Furthermore, in a meta-analysis of dyslexia, Eglinton and Annett (1994) reported a significant difference in handedness distribution between dyslectics and control groups. The proportion of left-handers was approximately equal in both groups, with 10.7 and 10.4% left-handers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Confusing Directions And while all adults mix up their left and right, if this is a consistent issue for you, it could be a sign of undiagnosed dyslexia. Dyslexia can cause issues with spatial reasoning. People dealing with dyslexia can have issues reading maps, following directions, and confuse their left and right.

Detailed explanation-5: –Counting how many people are left-handed is more difficult than it looks, because of variations in preference and skill from task to task and because of left-handers having been forced to write with their right hand, but the best estimate we have is that roughly 10% of the world population is left-handed.
