I’m not sure. It’s an interesting question though. I would have thought programming is more about syntax than vocabulary. Not sure how a scribe could help with that, unless they end up doing the coding... I found this article about dyslexia and programming - http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/italics/Vol3-2/dyslexia.pdf which may throw some light on the matter..
