Cross dominance?

Cross dominance? Hey all, My son (7) and daughter (5) have mild stutters. I had my son in speech therapy for a few months, but I was pretty much told that he will either outgrow it or he won’t. And if he doesn’t, he can use strategies to help control or slow his speech. He’s not worried about the stutter at the moment, so now that he’s learned some strategies, I think I can practice them at home if we want. Anyway! My son is right-handed and left-footed, and I’m seeing some things online about a relationship between that and language processing issues. Wondering if there’s some OT that could help both the cross dominance and the disfluency… I don’t know. Does anyone else here have cross dominance? Just curious if this is a real trend or more of a wives tale.
