A 4 month old infant shows strong prefence for his right hand when reaching at the midline. What should the OT conclude given the development of dominance in normal children?
Hand dominance is not developed until 1 year
Unilateraly precedes bilaterality in typical development
Hand dominance is developing appropriately
Further observation is needed due to possible right hand dysfunction

I was just about to type the same thing! "Don't you mean .left. hand dyfunction?" LOL
