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.
