The guide for parents and teachers to help left-handed children succeed in a right-handed world.
Most left-handers perform most activities with little difficulty most of the time. But left-handers are sometimes at a real disadvantage, for example, handwriting problems can have a serious effect on career opportunities. So left-handed children do need help – and parents and teachers need guidance.
This handbook defines and explores reasons for different types of left-handedness. It has a major section on handwriting, with contributions from Dr Jean Alston, Dr Rosemary Sassoon and Prue Wallis Myers, and it gives instructions for crafts an
d music, sources of equipment and suggestions for projects.
Diane G Paul is a well-known writer, broadcaster ard lecturer, whose research (funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation) gave rise to this Handbook. The book is an essential resource for anyone responsible for left-handed children and contains advisory Guidelines which have been adopted as an educational resource for teachers by the NFER.
The Left-handers Handbook was highly commended in the BMA Book Competition, Popular Medicine category. The author is shown with Sir John Maddox, former editor of Nature magazine, at the BMA ceremony.
