Users with Dyslexia
For users with dyslexia, the standing advice prevails: use clear, consistent layouts with short, concise content.
Keep the text left aligned and avoid indiscriminate use of bold or italics. Never underline text.
Dyslexic users also benefit from illustrative pictures that clearly relate the message of the content, as well as content in audio and video formats.
