Hi Robin and others,

One thing that struck me in the article was how health and home stress
issues affected people's learning. For example, Anna Maria had the
hearing problem and the mother with alzheimers, and Henri was
preoccupied with his prostate cancer. It seems that health issues for
the learner and the learner's family can be significant barriers to
learning.

Any more ideas for assessing and addressing these types of problems?

Thanks,

Julie
