Re: Needed urgent review ....Fwd: Cognitive Section in the MAUR

Another aspect is that the converse also applies when it comes to aural 
information should also be available in text form. Although some 
cognitive disabilities affect reading skills, auditory processing can 
also be affected. A main point with cognitive disabilities is that 
although a person may be affected on multiple information inputs, the 
key is to provide enough opportunities for that person to bring their 
relative personal strengths to bear. I know a few people with dyslexia 
who consider their verbal skills (and by this, they mean text/reading) 
to be far better than their listening skills (which is why they despise 
text-to-speech).
