This is a very good question. For my daeguthr, where fatigue is definitely a factor, I think that it has to be a combination of both independent and directed study. Ideally learning on her own where she does not feel the pressure of someone watching is a great help. Also the feeling of confidence gained by being able to do it on her own. However when fatigue sets in and her visual processing starts to break down, independent learning becomes impossible. In these cases, a very savy person is required to move her on to something else that allows the brain a chance to rest. Shared reading, going for a walk and talking about something unrelated, even a warm cup of herbal tea can make it possible to get back to the work again when her brain is working better.It would be wonderful if your program could recognized when a person was getting tired (perhaps based on error rate or speed (although speed is not always a good indicator) and moved on to something that was less challenging for some this could be a video game, for others watching an engaging video, or for others, like my daeguthr, calming music (user selectable) and a slide show of relaxing images. When people struggle with visual processing problems, others often do not recognize how exhausting reading is. We take it for granted that reading is a natural non-taxing process. My daeguthr's neurologist has likened it to sprinting. She can read reasonably well for a few minutes then it stops working You just can't sprint long distances.
