Pedersen found that children who were considered normal had no problem with cross-lateral movement – they were able to react equally using both feet. However, children with ADHD had slower reaction and movement times when crossing the midline of the body.

The Matrix Program for Children with Learning Problems by Ilyhana Kate Kennedy BA (Ed)
The following program of exercises and activities has been designed specifically for children with learning problems in literacy and numeracy related to vision, co-ordination and the genetic predisposition to difference that has been labeled as Attention Deficit Disorder. The program aims to help the child orient the self “in the body” in relation to the world outside. It employs the kinesthetic channel as the major channel of learning and then integrates the visual and auditory channels with the kinesthetic. The children are learning to be literate “through the body”, through movement rather than through “chalk and talk”.
