I can speak from my personal experience as a farout visual-spatial learner. With the right focus and some introspection, there are a lot of coping strategies that can bring the v/s strengths to prop up auditory weaknesses. Some deficits remain, but I'm indifferent to them (e.g. I can only remember all the words to one song.)
You might experiment with some typical v/s coping strategies like encouraging your son to doodle while listening to instructions. Also watching a speaker can be very distracting, music and sounds can make reading harder, and other things.
Where can I learn more about this? Is there a website or a book that will teach me more about typical vs coping strategies for VSL?
