Subject: RE: BS: Things that help people with Dyslexia
Best font is Comic Sans size 12 or above and not bolded. Everyone will need a different colour background as it is prescriptive and singular. Best colours generally tend to be pale blue, pale lilac, wheat yellow, pale green or pale pink. And in answer to an earlier post, my school has Dyslexia Friendly School Status, we were the first school in Cornwall to have Dyslexia written into a Statement of Special Educational Needs [16 years ago] and the first school in Cornwall to have students wearing presciption tinted lenses. And, at one point I used to carry my overlays testing kit with me to festivals as so many folkies had asked about getting their children tested and schools did not have the expertise to do it and I did. Any help I can give re DFS school status please pm me.
