Perhaps a speech and language therapy service would the place to start -
a speech and language therapist working with adults may be able to work
with the student to specify more precisely the nature of this difference
and thus inform on kind of support would be appropriate...alternatively
a chartered psychologist may be able to undertake similar sort of
job...try the BPSs directory - "findapsychologist" at

Subject: support strategies for a student who has had a stroke
Importance: High
A student who has recently had a stroke is having difficulties with some
elements of his course because he finds that his 'brain works
differently' to how it did previously and is struggling reading and
writing to the same level as before. Has anyone had any experience of
supporting students who have had a stroke.
Thanks
