Individuals with SSS may experience any of a number of types of reading problems. Not only can Scotoptic Sensitivity Syndrome affect reading itself, but it can affect energy level, motivation, and work production. In addition, problems with attention span, handwriting, gross motor activities, and depth perception might be a result of Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome.

Scotoptic Sensitivity Syndrome is not, of itself, a learning difficulty in the accepted sense. Rather, it is a complex and variable condition often found to exist as a component of dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD, and many other learning problems.
