Sorry. I thought the OP was asking what we do personally. That is what I do personally. If I have a student that I believe has a diminished capacity for reading, for whatever reasons. And yes I used disability generally, as I have been teaching for more than twenty years and have a reputation for taking students other teachers want to get rid of for similar difficulties or sometimes just because of poor attitude!

If a student wants to read, I would persevere through the difficulty. But if they were finding it stressful, then I would focus on further ear development.

And my point with referring to the blind man I have performed with, that he could manage whole programs. Therefore it would also be possible for someone with reduced reading capacity. Albeit not ideal. But life isn't ideal. Therefore I wouldn't insist all students read. Although I do insist all students try to learn to read before deciding to divert our energies elsewhere.
