I asked a person who has extensive experience with severe learning  
disabilities in all ages. He asked not to be identified because he hasn't talked  
directly with your student. He says, "If she is a true 'mirror reader,' this is  
extremely rare.  I have encountered two in my career.  Sometimes it  appears 
that everything is being seen backwards when it is still really a  phonological 
to graphic mapping problem. 

"They may want to continue with  Wilson, but also experiment with text on 
transparencies so they can be flipped  over and the words appear in 'reverse.'  
Any software that might help them  to transpose text (right to left) might also 
be worth experimenting with.   Another possibility might be to use a speech 
recognition program to write, to  reinforce the connection between the sounds 
and graphic  representation."

Hope this helps--

Can you  give me any insight into how  to help, what questions to ask of 
whom, for a  person who decodes and  writes from right to left?
