During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Reading symptoms.

- What particular problems with reading ability are you experiencing? - e.g. difficulty focusing for reading, poor ability to understand the written word.
- What is the age of the person experiencing reading difficulty? - e.g. if the person is a child, may represent a learning difficulty or dyslexia; if elderly may represent Alzheimer's disease, presbyopia, stroke, brain hemorrhage or brain tumor.
- If person is a child, what are the details of the pregnancy, birth and new born? - may detect prenatal infections, prenatal drugs and toxins, birth trauma, neonatal infection as a possible cause of learning difficulties and problems with reading ability.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Reading symptoms) may include:
- Impulsive behavior, inattentiveness and hyperactivity? - may suggest attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Poor social interaction and language delay in the child? - e.g. poor eye contact, aloneness, difficulties relating to peers - may suggest autism as cause of learning and reading difficulty.
- Hearing problems? - Increasingly it is being recognised that children with subtle hearing problems are at a major risk of learning difficulties and school dysfunction. These children may develop subtle language and academic problems, as well as problems with attention and behavior.
- Vision problems? - Children with any form of visual problems which affect visual acuity or eye movements will be at risk of learning difficulties including difficulty with reading. Adults who develop visual problems which are not corrected will inevitably have problems with reading.
- Distortion of vision in adult? - e.g. seeing objects smaller or larger than actual - suggests macula degeneration.
