Book - Parent
"This book by left-handed child psychologist Healey (Mount Sinai Medical Ctr., New York) provides information about and for the approximately 30 million lefties in the United States and Great Britain. Healey seeks to share her research and experience with parents and teachers because, she says, "we are uneducated on the subject of handedness." Clearly presented are questionnaires for testing handedness and pragmatic information on how to assist left-handed children in the development of fine motor skills, all with tips and case studies to demonstrate her points. The resources section provides several web sites as well as the addresses and phone numbers of retailers specializing in a variety of items for left-handers. In addition, Healey's introduction provides reference librarians with easy access to additional information about left-handedness, and she lists her practice's phone numbers and encourages readers to call with their questions." -Library Journal
