Activities of the Consulting and Information Center

• Informing people involved about left-handedness and the consequences of converting the handedness
• Preventing the conversion of handedness
• Offering aids to parents and members of professional groups dealing with left-handed children and adults
• Offering aids to converted left-handers
• Offering aids and scientific support during the reconversion of handedness; evaluation of the findings
• Designing workplaces and utensils for left-handers

In addition to informing those affected and preventing conversion, it is of utmost importance at an early stage to warn parents against the dangers of converting a left-handed child (first when the child is 18 months old and again at the age of about 41/2). An information flier handed out to parents could help the family doctor to take effective precautions and pass on useful hints and tips in time.
