1 Understand dyslexia

The first step to designing for people with dyslexia is to understand what it is and how it affects different people. Dyslexia is not a single condition, but a spectrum of diverse experiences and challenges. Some people may have difficulty with phonological awareness, which is the ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds of language. Others may struggle with visual processing, which is the ability to perceive and interpret shapes, colors, and patterns. Some may have both or other related issues, such as dyscalculia (difficulty with math) or dysgraphia (difficulty with handwriting). Therefore, it is important to avoid making assumptions and stereotypes about dyslexia, and instead learn from your users and their needs.

When creating content for individuals with dyslexia, prioritize clarity and simplicity. Use straightforward language, avoiding unnecessary complexity. Keep sentences short and to the point, breaking down complex ideas. Enhance understanding with visual aids and maintain consistent formatting for predictability. Choose dyslexia-friendly fonts and consider high-contrast colors. Utilize bulleted lists for easy scanning and offer audio options for alternative learning styles. Incorporate user feedback to continually refine designs for optimal accessibility.

2 Use clear typography

One of the most important aspects of designing for people with dyslexia is to use clear and legible typography. This means choosing fonts that are simple, consistent, and well-spaced, avoiding decorative, italic, or all-caps styles. You should also use a large enough font size, at least 12 points, and a high contrast between the text and the background color. Additionally, you should avoid using too much text on a single page or screen, and break it up into short paragraphs, bullet points, and headings. You can also use different colors, icons, or images to highlight key information and guide the user's attention.

Reading for dyslexic individuals often occurs through the graphic "blob," somewhat similar to what predictive AI models do ;) ... Therefore, a typography with well-defined characters, with serifs, and friendly letter spacing will be key to enhancing readability.

Fontes específicas: Algumas pessoas com dislexia acham que certos tipos de fonte s?o mais fáceis de ler do que outros. Experimentar diferentes op??es de fonte pode ajudar a encontrar a mais confortável. Dê preferencia para fonts sem serifa e com pouco movimento, que tenha padr?o. Eu pessoalmente falando amo a font Lato.

3 Provide multiple modes of communication

Another way to design for people with dyslexia is to provide multiple modes of communication, such as audio, video, or graphics, to complement or replace text. This can help users access the content in the way that suits them best, and also reinforce their understanding and retention. For example, you can use audio narration, subtitles, or transcripts for videos, podcasts, or animations. You can also use diagrams, charts, or illustrations to explain complex concepts, processes, or data. Moreover, you can use interactive elements, such as buttons, sliders, or drag-and-drop, to enable users to manipulate and explore the information.

é possivel usar outros aplicativos que ajudam a prática. Páginas com conteúdos mais extensos, como essa por exemplo, deveria ter bot?o de ler texto ou ferramentas que auxiliem pessoas que tem algum nível de dificuldade. Isso ajuda muito gente, por exemplo tem pessoas que tem doen?as no olho como cerotocone onde o estigmatismo afeta de forma mais elevada dificuldanto a leitura.

4 Support user control and feedback

Designing for people with dyslexia also means supporting user control and feedback, which can enhance their confidence and satisfaction. This means giving users the option to customize their preferences, such as changing the font size, color, or style, adjusting the volume or speed of the audio, or switching between different modes of communication. You should also provide clear and consistent feedback, such as progress indicators, error messages, or confirmations, to help users know what they have done and what they need to do next. Furthermore, you should avoid using timers, pop-ups, or animations that may distract or pressure users, and instead allow them to work at their own pace and focus.

5 Test and iterate with users

The final step to designing for people with dyslexia is to test and iterate with users, which can help you validate your assumptions, identify problems, and improve your solutions. You should involve users with dyslexia throughout the design process, from the initial research to the final evaluation, and use various methods, such as interviews, surveys, or usability tests, to gather their feedback. You should also be open and respectful, and ask users about their preferences, challenges, and goals, rather than their diagnosis or symptoms. By testing and iterating with users, you can ensure that your design meets their needs and expectations, and also benefits the wider audience.

Principal é Contraste: Escolher esquemas de cores de médio e alto contraste pode ajudar a diferenciar o texto do fundo. Evitar distra??es: é muito importante minimizando distra??es na tela e focar apenas no texto pode ajudar na concentra??o. Pausas frequentes: Fazer pausas regulares durante a leitura para descansar os olhos e o cérebro. Cada pessoa com dislexia pode ter preferências individuais, ent?o é importante experimentar diferentes configura??es para determinar o que funciona melhor. A dislexia diferente do muitos pensam afeta até 15% da popula??o do mundo.
