While most studies indicated atypical (leftwardness or clumsiness) handedness in developmental disability, the present study was designed to test atypical laterality involving long limb (hand, foot) and sense organ (eye, ear) as inability to use both lateral sides in a complimentary manner. The study attempted to examine atypical lateral bias in difficult unilateral task as against simple tasks. Participants with intellectual disability (n=5) and autistic spectrum disorder (n=6) were tested with a 25-item side bias tasks. Performance was examined with controlled observation of unilateral execution of task reaching target. Findings indicated response rigidity for all forms of lateral bias as compared to normal controls. These findings were discussed in light of possible implication in motor training for developmental disability.
