Quick Tip: Readability for Users With Dyslexia/Learning Disabilities
To improve web readability for users with Dyslexia/Learning Disabilities, use simple, familiar fonts, adequately-sized text, and generous line spacing while avoiding italics and all caps for large sections of text. Maintain comfortable color contrast – preferably dark text on an off-white background – and organize content with short paragraphs, clear headings, and ample white space. Support user adjustments to font, size, and colors, and use plain language to keep content accessible and easy to understand.
