They could try a Specialist Careers Adviser - either in their local homeCareers Service or at the University Careers Service(if you have a
specialist there)
Their remit is impartial advice and guidance

Subject: Visual spatial skills
Hi,
wonder if anyone can help. I have an Occupational Therapy
student who has recently seen an Educational Psychologist for a
dyslexia assessment. He does have dyslexia, and during testing
was also found to have difficulties with visual spatial skills. The Ed
Psych suggested he think seriously about Occupational Therapy
as a career. I have little knowledge of the subject area and my
contact in the department has recently left so has anyone any
suggestions about who could give some impartial advice? The
student is pretty upset but also doesn't want to set himself up for
failure if there are insurmountable barriers. He has just completed
his first placement and it was his placement supervisor who
suggested dyslexia testing.
Thanks
