From personal experience, I know it is very difficult to convince the counselors that a clinet/student really cannot read, and that being able to read the words does not mean the client/student can understand what s/he has read. One thing that has helped is for the client/student to have the Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous) on tape. The client/student can listen and understand what s/he hears better than what s/he reads. Another way for clients/students to receive help they need is for me to read and explain the text (but only short texts) to the student. If there are questions to respond to, the client/student can tell them to me to record, or record responses on audio tape. Millie Kuth Hamilton City ABLE Hamilton OH 45011
