Is the idea to work on the less dominant side to bring the student to a balanced state?

Yes. For example, I need organization. I use sticky notes, leave messages to my home answering machine from my cell phone, write everything down on my calendar at work and at home, and recently bought clear, stackable storage drawers. Some people find that brain gym exercises help. I use "pictures" to remember things for tests. I look very organized but have to work very hard at it. I overcompensate. Many people are quite balanced and have both left and right brain traits. In the end, if you are left brained, you will remain a left but can work to strengthen the right.

It's funny, I always remember people commenting how left-handed people (of which I'm one) are the only one's truly in their right minds. It wasn't until I was much older that I understood half of what that meant.

Barb--I'm the exact opposite of you. I'm a type A personality by nature (odd for a 3rd child) and super-organization sort of goes along with that. I've learned to fight the urge to over-organize my life (and everyone else's); but it's a major fight. I still have panic attacks if I lose my PDA, forget my watch or if my husband moves something that I've placed in a certain spot in my office (my office is something else... I have a therapist friend that refers to it as organized disorganization or functional chaos--I have piles of things everywhere, but everthing in a pile is related and I know what's in each pile).
