Any good neurologist with experience in single sidedness in children?
Also any tips / therapies that worked, and helped?
Thanks!

Did your child start walking, and skipped most of the crawling stage? That's what happened with DD. I thought it was because DD was so smart, but it turns out that she missed a really important developmental stage.

Her therapist had her practice crawling for an hour a day, for left/right brain integration. She also walked along the curb, like she was walking a tightrope. At first she'd hold my hand for balance, but after a while she could let go for a minute, and eventually do it all on her own.

She couldn't ride a bike until she was almost 8, and I stood on the sidewalk and cried, since I never thought she'd be able to. All of her friends could ride a bike without training wheels from the time they were 4 or 5.

Cross hand "patty cake" games are extremely helpful and fun. Anything that makes your child do things with the "lazy" side of the body and brain, in coordination with the "good" side.
