My son is dyslexic and is in the final year in Faculty of Engineering. He has periods of mental block aternating with periods of mental alertness. He can be able to understand what he hears in a lecture maximum 15 minutes, then he hears and does not understand for few minutes, even though the words are similar but he just does not understand them. The periods of understanding then gradually decrease and periods of not understanding increase until it is only "not understanding" for the remaining 20 minutes of any lecture. This is in spite of the fact that he continues to hear the words and does not lose concentration. Of course, he might lose concentration at times, but this is the case when he is concentrating well. Please advise me what to do.
