Does she have any declared conditions like autism etc that might be involved here? Knowing that can help guide your next steps.

How reliant on reading instructions is this role? Is it possible to pivot more to delivering instructions verbally that she might then understand and retain better?

It’s critical; it’s how you start the individual tasks. She did mention she has ADHD

To me it sounds like an issue with doing things too quickly. Having ADHD doesn't mean a disability, if it's not diagnosed then it doesn't mean it's protected. So question is have you worked to have them do it at the pace they can do it without mistakes you think aren't acceptable. Then once you find that level, the question is can they do the job. If they need to be given a incredibly light load to meet expectations then it's time to PIP and work towards meeting expectations with a work load that is acceptable. Be on transparent and communicate to build them up not tear them down.

Any skill can be developed, the question is more what are you willing to do? It could be a long term development that's needed and you have to be willing to commit. If the answer is no it's not a personal failing on your part. The only failure is if you aren't transparent then pull the rug out from them without warning.

Not everyone is a good fit for all places/people.

Happy to discuss further if you need extra guidance (I'm an L&D consultant)
