Would this question apply if you can read beyond a sentence but you might have to read a paragraph a few times , so it would take longer. What is the definition as more than twice as long as someone without an impairment. How many minutes?
When I was doing a course as part of my DSA they suggested a screen reader help with reading larger amounts of material. However, when I tried it I found it hard to take in the information as it by listening alone. I think it has something to do with information processing. If I'm reading something, I can read it fluently but I would not process all of it so if I was asked questions on the material I would have to read it again and make key points. I had a note taker for classes as I write slow and couldn't listen, process the information and then take notes. It's linked to neurological impairment so would this question be relevant to me? I also had 50 percent extra time for exams and completing work and rest breaks. Is any of this relevant?

You have asked a lot of questions today, many of the answers are in our PIP Claim guide, have you looked at this?
You may struggle to show that your reading is slower than a healthy person, especially as the requirement is only "more than one sentence", the requirement is that it would take you more than twice the time that a healthy person would but we are talking very short times with considerable variability.
