We have an education student with dyslexia, who also has a speech
impediment; it was recommended in his needs assessment for the DSA that
he should benefit from some training for speaking in the classroom -
which he has had from one of our tutors (who also happens to be an ex
actress and drama specialist). Not quite the same - but some sort of
precedent...
