A Guide to Bilateral Coordination

Bilateral coordination is the ability to coordinate both sides of the body at the same time when completing a task. Development of bilateral coordination is necessary for many areas of gross motor skills such as walking, skipping, or riding a bike. Fine motor skills, such as holding paper while cutting with scissors, buttoning, or stringing beads, also require bilateral coordination!
