One of the most famous varieties of Cross-dominance is Ambidexterity, being equally adept with each hand (or, to a limited degree, feet). That means the brain has to work extra hard to get the two messages together, meaning a higher likelihood of mixing up or incorrectly remembering information.In fact, cross dominance can explain many learning behaviors such as:The most important thing to remember is, like any learning disability, this does not make your child "unintelligent." Likewise, students with cross dominance may run into this problemWhen studying for a test -- they'll know something the night before when studying, but by test time, it's lost in their disorganized "filing cabinets". A common example of cross dominance is a person who uses one hand to write and the other to play sports. If you're right-handed, chances are you do When we write, hit, kick, or turn our head to hear, we're typically doing it all with the same side.However, cross dominance -- also known as "mixed handedness" -- is a manifestation of motor skills where the dominance is mixed, and different sides of each body part are stronger than the other (having left eye dominance while being right-handed, for example. Our co-founder, Dr. Robert Melillo, offers a mixed dominance assessment on page 138 of his book "To schedule an assessment for your child, or to learn more about how the Brain Balance Program can help your child reach their full potential, contact us online or find a center near you.©2020 Brain Balance Achievement Centers.
Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides". If a child does not display the same dominant side when it comes to using their hand, foot, eye, and ear, it's likely due to what we call Children who don't develop adequate brain dominance when completing tasks—called brain lateralization—Parents who notice that their children are experiencing developmental delays and show signs of mixed dominance should be on the lookout for early symptoms of other challenges. An example would be someone like an inattentive son who kicks and writes with his right foot and hand but his dominant eye is his left eye.
All rights reserved. The key in learning is to start paying attention to minor tasks and performing them with one's opposite hand daily.
Although ambidexterity is rare at birth, it can be learned. It is packed with cross lateral exercises as well as exercises designed to help with all of the
)Someone with cross dominance may even prefer to perform different tasks on different sides with the same body part, like prefering to write with the right hand but eat with the left hand.Though functional disconnection syndrome is not a medically recognized condition, it is theorized as being related to the cause of autism and dyslexia.In a cross dominant brain, information that would normally be processed on both sides of the brain has to jump back and forth between each hemisphere. These are motions which build The Learning Success System contains the cross lateral exercises necessary to help the cross dominant student. Having a child who is mixed-handed or ambidextrous -- where they use different sides of their body for different tasks -- seems like a benign physical talent. Your hard work and commitment to program requirements and protocols of the program translate to greater success for your child.Our advertising features actual parent testimonials.

For example, these children may write with their left hand, but use scissors with their right hand. And being cross dominant doesn't necessarily mean both sides are equally strong. It's this type of usage of the body that makes a person dominant on opposite sides of the body, depending on the activity. This lack of a dominant hand or dominant side increases the chance that a child may also have a processing disorder, ADHD or other difficulty that makes learning more challenging later in life.Developmental delays are often the first sign that children may have learning or attention problems when they are older. There is thus no direct analogy between "handed In fact, in some cases cross dominance can be an advantage. Individual results may vary.Brain Balance Achievement Centers are independently owned and operated. But it does mean that someone with cross dominance has a uniquely built brain.
