Abstract

Left-right asymmetry is a biological characteristic of man which is equally apparent in religion, mythology, and an. Recent research has revealed a considerable degree of specialization in the two hemispheres of the human brain. In this paper some of this research is described and its implication for our understanding and management of learning disabled children are discussed.
