A client whose team I will be working with had a major TBI a couple years ago. The injury wasn't an SCI, but it had similiar results. He is unable to read from left to right, even if it's on a computer screen with a masking feature. What they've found is that he can read if it's a single line of words on a strip of paper, like ticker tape. I don't know yet if a single-line sized viewing screen would also work.

Cognitively, the guy is doing great -- his lowest grade so far has been a 95. The team is hoping that somewhere a device exists that could convert computer text and/or hard-copy text into  this ticker-tape format.

As always, I look forward to your ideas and suggestions!
