Not about intelligence
Dyslexia affects 5–10% of Europeans and is a difference in how the brain processes written language. It is NOT about intelligence or effort.
For any community or learning setting, three small changes hugely help:
• FONT: use sans-serif, 14pt+, with extra line spacing. OpenDyslexic and Atkinson Hyperlegible are free dyslexia-friendly fonts. • PAPER: off-white or cream, never bright white. Avoid green-on-red. • OPTIONS: offer audio alternatives to text where possible. Most government PDFs have a 'read aloud' button most people never notice.
