Description
Imagine living life like you are always looking in a mirror, where everything from cutting with scissors, to tying shoes, to using a computer mouse is backwards. This is the life of a lefty. Left-handers are a neglected group because the hand they use for everyday acts is different from what the majority uses (Coren, 1992). The life of a lefty is full of challenges. Left-handers face more than their share of difficulties in a world that is organized for right-handers (Newland, 1981). Most often, right-handers don't realize the challenges lefties face, or the accommodations that lefties have to make. These accommodations are necessary for simple actions, such as using a can opener, to more complex processes, like writing (Aldersey-Williams, 1999).
