Dyslexia is a learning difficulty. A dyslexic person has difficulty with literacy skills and retaining information, but many have strong visual and problem-solving skills. 1
Spelling, reading and writing could all be affected, as well as putting things in sequence (tasks, months, etc.).
Their reading speed might be slower so they can process what words they’re reading. Unique fonts with well-differentiated letters could help with reading, for example, a font set where the letters b and d are not each other’s exact mirror image. Information retention is often better when the instructions are verbal.
Using voice notes or audiobooks is an excellent way to help people with dyslexia access information.
Dyslexia often co-occurs with other learning difficulties.
