I love teaching the slate and stylus (although sighted) and often refer to
Philip Mangold's manual, "Teaching the Slate and Stylus: A manual for mastery"
which encourages lefties to hold the stylus in right hand. I have taught 4
lefties in ten years and all but one found this comfortable. The
rationalization is that the hands work together equally. If you haven't read
Philip Mangold's great little manual, I highly recommend it--it is practical
and promotes a positive attitude towards the slate and stylus.

So far two responses from lefties-saying they write with their left hand and
follow behind with their right hand to keep place. Haven't heard from any
teachers yet.

I've never taught slate and stylus to a left hand user. Your question is a
great one! I look forward to what folks have to say.

What have people done when teaching a left-handed person to use a slate and
stylus? Did you ask them to do it the standard way (hold the stylus in right
hand and lead with left hand), or have you found that it works okay for a
left-handed person to hold the stylus in his left hand and just FOLLOW with the
right index finger as a place marker??
