Reading disabilities

Introduction

Many people with cognitive or neurological disabilities have difficulty reading.

Design Considerations

Do

  • Supplement the page with illustrations, videos, or audio in addition to text 1.
  • Provide slightly lower levels of contrast than “black on white” or “white on black” as super-high contrast can cause eyestrain in addition to making reading more complicated. 1
