We have a patient in rehab who cannot read, but is being taught basic
computer skills, and the woman who is instructing him wanted to know if
there was any information she could refer to since she's never taught
someone who can't read. Any suggestions?

I asked her if he's interested in learning to read, and she said not
really. He's learning games and such, but I asked if she thought he'd be
interested in a simple software program that would help him with basic
reading skills, and she thought he would be. Do any of you know of one? 

Many thanks.
