Hi. If it helps your client—I’ve been driving for 60 years without being able to visualize, “see” a map in my mind. Don’t know whether related, but I also tend to reverse letters, numbers, words—as well as north-south and east-west.  My strategies: Ive always memorized commonly used routes and still verbalize landmarks as memory aid. Years ago, I attached a compass on the dashboard—now built in feature.  My first GPS device  liberated me from reliance on paper atlases and fold-out maps, tho those still help me with an overall idea of road systems.  There’s no shame in relying on gps! Figuring out his own mnemonic strategies can help.  thanks for listening closely to your young client and helping him understand that difference is not disability.
