Occupational Therapy: Bilateral Integration
Updated: May 11, 2020
In my last blog post, we talked about the difficulties your child may be facing with writing, reading, coping from the board and reading comprehension. We also learnt that under-developed Bilateral Integration ( BI ) can greatly contribute to these problems.
