Good Afternoon Everyone.

I work at a Volunteer Literacy center and a tutor asked me today how she
might differentiate the difficulties her student is having with
depression versus the struggles she might encounter with her ADHD. The
student has already indicated that she would like to improve her reading
comprehension and she tunes out after a certain point in conversation.
These issues are compounded by the fact that the learner also has
hearing loss so in conversation she isn't getting 100% of the message.

It is an interesting question and one I'm afraid that I don't have the
answer. Can anyone help me with suggestions to pass on to this tutor?

Thank you,

Tasha Marsden
