For Those With Dyslexia

Do...

• Use images and diagrams to support text.

• Align text to the left and keep a consistent layout.

• Consider producing materials in other formats (for example audio or video).

• Keep content short clear and simple.

• Use dyslexia-friendly fonts where possible (e.g. Lexie Readable, Dyslexie, Comic Sans).

• Print material on light coloured paper.

Don’t...

• Use large blocks of heavy text.

• Underline words, use italics or write in capitals (use bold instead)

• Force users to remember things from previous pages - give reminders and prompts.

• Put too much information in one place.

• Use text over a background image - keep the background plain.
