I think it doesn't mean that just because a child is cross-dominant they will have LDs, but instead you see cross-dominance as a trait in some types of LDs. Our ds13 has difficulty separating out left from right, north from south etc, and he does not have a dominant hand/eye etc (according to his neuropscyh evals). For him, they are symptoms associated with dyspraxia. His neuropsych also prefers to call it "lack of dominance" rather than "cross-dominance" because in kids with dyspraxia and related challenges, it's not a case of both sides being *strong* but rather a case of a child never fully developing a dominant hand/eye etc.
