The paper she developed on behalf of the State Institute for School Pedagogy and Educational Research in 1987 on the left-handed child entering school was included in 1989 by the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture in the publication "Handout for the Admission of Children to Primary School" and was published in 1993 as a comprehensive publication The left-handed child released in elementary school .

Machines with asymmetrical handling should be convertible or convertible to left-handed use. She was also responsible for the current version of Handedness - Meaning and Investigation as the guideline coordinator.
