The day was first observed in the year 1976 by Dean R. Campbell, founder of the Lefthanders International, Inc.[1] International Left Handers Day was created to celebrate certain people's sinistrality and raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed in a predominantly right-handed world. It celebrates their uniqueness and differences, who are from seven to ten percent of the world's population.[1] The day also spread awareness on issues faced by left-handers e.g. the importance of the special needs for left-handed kids, and also the likelihood for left-handers to develop schizophrenia.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://calendarholidays.xyz/national/august/august-13-left-handers-day/|title=August 13 – Left Hander’s Day #LeftHandersDay|last=|first=|date=|website=Left-Handed Portal|publisher=|at=History of Left-Hander's Day|access-date=|accessdate=5 March 2014}} 2. ^{{ cite web |url=http://news.yale.edu/2013/10/31/left-handed-people-more-likely-have-psychotic-disorders-such-schizophrenia-yale-study |title=Left-handed people more likely to have psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia: Yale Study |website=Yale |accessdate=13 August 2015}} Further reading{{refbegin}}
