Lol everyone had this experience! :p  Look up SDAM. A lot of people with Aphantasia also have SDAM, which affects memory.

My short answer would be no. This question could literally be asked about any type of thinking or learning differently. Should teachers give someone with ADHD, or color blindness, or an introvert, or someone who isn't physically fit, or dyslexia, extra help or time? Most people struggle in one way or another. Teachers can't be expected to know about and accommodate everyone with a different way of thinking or learning. In the end, they would still just be spending the same amount of time with each student, because everyone is different. That being said, my long answer is yes, someone with Aphantasia could qualify for extra help from teachers. But I would put the responsibility on the person, or person's family, who has aphantasia. I would encourage anyone who has difficulty learning, to work with that teacher, and with school counselors, to come up with a way that they can be successful. Obviously a color blind person in an art class needs help. Someone who isn't physically fit in a P.E. class can be helped with a routine that fits their abilities, and can still help them grow. ADHD, dyslexia, and others all have struggles that teachers can learn to help with. No one is alone in being different, and everyone should take some personal responsibility to be successful. 

Yes I "visualize" movement, without any pictures in my mind. Sometimes I describe to people close to me an example of the show The Flash. I can't picture or visualize anything from the show, but if I think about the Flash running, I get a sense of movement in my head, and I almost feel like I can see him running with lightning out behind him. There's still no images in my mind, and it isn't a physical feeling either, but its the closest I get to a visual picture, when I think about movement, or something moving.
