Abstract

The two hemispheres of the human brain (the right and left hemispheres) consist of several areas that are related to a particular physiological function of the body. The right hemisphere controls the left part of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. A case study was conducted on a 22 year old male with moderate intellectual disability in which organs located on the right side of the body (e.g., the eye, ear, and right hand) were stimulated with external stimuli to increase the potentiality of the left hemisphere. The intensity of stimulation was accomplished with a time-specific learning plan. Assessment was done by identifying the hemispheric potential by pre- and post-testing the Hemispheric Dominance Inventory (1995) and BASIC-MR (Reeta Peshawaria, S. Venkatesan, Publisher, NIMH,1992). The results of the experiment showed that the potentiality of the left hemisphere was increased by stimuli. By identifying damage to the right and left hemispheres, it is easier to learn tasks related to the healthier hemisphere. The study found that specific training with an external stimulus enhanced left hemisphere qualities.
