Simeoni is in his late 20’s. He left school at age 14 because he said, “he wasn’t learning anything”. He had lots of small jobs but always got into arguments over complaints that he had not done the job that he had been told to do. Simeoni doesn’t like to write as he can’t spell most words. He can’t sound them out so he feels lost and stupid. Simeoni tends to get into trouble because he doesn’t ‘understand’ what people tell him to do. This has been a huge problem at work. Simeoni is just coming to understand that maybe he is not ‘hearing’ what is said. Simeoni, with practice, is good at math but he isn’t familiar with math vocabulary and has difficulty reading math problems or explaining how he got an answer. Simeoni is working with a literacy tutor to upgrade his skills.
