Technical detail
When the same task makes several different demands
The difficulties can add together
Dyslexia concerns literacy skills. ADHD can add problems regulating attention and organising action. Reading accurately and keeping track of a task are different demands; improving one does not automatically resolve the other.
Consider a written exercise: you have to read it, understand it, retain the question, organise an answer and record it. Support that helps one stage can leave another stage difficult. Describe the stage that fails rather than simply saying you cannot do the exercise.
Changing format can move the memory demand
Audio removes some reading demands, but a spoken sentence disappears unless you replay it. A picture stays available but may not explain every step. The best format is the one you can use while doing the task.
For example, combine short read-aloud sections with keeping the current question visible. This is a practical way to reduce simultaneous demands, not a claim that audio is always better for ADHD or dyslexia.
Judge adjustments by the task they unlock
Ask to try an adjustment on a real task before relying on it. Can you complete the form, follow the instructions or use the therapy exercise with less strain?
The evidence supports condition-specific help; it does not identify one tested package for every adult with this combination. Your remaining difficulties still matter even if another part improves with ADHD treatment.
