Hi
We provide cover sheets to flag the work of all students with evidenced
information processing problems. This has included a student with a type
of aphasia (Wernicke's) where the student was verbally very fluent but
had difficulty in matching the sound of a word to its written form.
As far as support is concerned - I suppose it depends on the type of
aphasia and how it affects the student. Some one to one support, akin
to dyslexia support, was provided to our student, but using read back
software, such as Inspirations and Texthelp Read and Write, was a more
effective way of helping her independently plan and proofread her work.

I would be interested to know whether anyone has experience of
supporting a
student with aphasia, and in particular whether it would be appropriate
to
'flag' the student's work in the same way that a dyslexic student might
have stickers to flag their technical errors.
