1 Choose fonts carefully

Fonts can make a big difference in how easy or hard it is to read text. Some fonts are more dyslexia-friendly than others, because they have clear shapes, consistent strokes, and enough spacing between letters and words. Avoid fonts that are too fancy, thin, or irregular, as they can cause confusion or blur the text. Some examples of dyslexia-friendly fonts are Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, and OpenDyslexic. You can also use tools like Dyslexie Font or Lexie Readable to create custom fonts for your layouts.

2 Use colors wisely

Colors can also affect readability and contrast. Avoid using bright or neon colors that can strain the eyes or make the text hard to see. Use dark colors for text and light colors for background, or vice versa, to create enough contrast. You can also use colors to highlight important information or separate different sections of your layout. However, be careful not to use too many colors or create patterns that can distract or confuse the reader. You can use tools like Color Oracle or WebAIM Color Contrast Checker to test how your colors look for different types of color vision.

3 Adjust spacing and alignment

Spacing and alignment can help create a clear and organized layout that is easy to follow. Use enough spacing between lines, paragraphs, and columns to avoid crowding or overlapping the text. Use left alignment for text, as it creates a consistent starting point and avoids uneven gaps. Avoid justified or centered alignment, as they can make the text harder to scan or read. You can also use bullet points, headings, and subheadings to break up the text into smaller chunks and highlight key points.

In most cases, in your layout as a designer, there are certain pointers you highlight out as a way of making information stand out through eco friendly colours. Having to space out Context it being a picture or text, should be visible enough to explain and read, making it easier to digest for a dyslexic personnel

4 Choose images carefully

Images can enhance your layout and support your message, but they can also create clutter or distraction. Choose images that are relevant, clear, and simple, and avoid images that are too busy, complex, or abstract. Use images sparingly and place them strategically, so that they do not interfere with the text or the flow of your layout. You can also use captions, alt text, or labels to explain what the images show or mean.

5 Test your layout

The best way to check if your layout is dyslexia-friendly is to test it with real users. You can ask for feedback from people who have dyslexia or use tools like Dyslexia Simulator or NoCoffee to simulate how your layout looks for dyslexic readers. You can also use tools like Hemingway or Readable to check the readability and simplicity of your text. By testing your layout, you can identify and fix any issues that might affect the user experience and satisfaction.

Having different prototypes of layouts allow a designer to carefully criticise , constructively on how one can execute a layout for dyslexic personnel. Simulation and testing of user friendly fonts does help and adjust the experience to satisfaction. This is through a series of different colour schemes too
