	[~~[Category~~: ~~Cognitive~~ and ~~Neurological Issues~~]]		Read about dyslexia on [https://accessibility.perpendicularangel.com/what-is-accessibility/types-of-disabilities/cognitive-and-neurological-disabilities/dyslexia/ Dyslexia] at [[Perpendicular Angel]].

	[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia Dyslexia] is a language processing disorder frequently described as a reading disorder. It is the most common learning disability around the world, and up to 20% of the world population may have some degree of symptoms.		[[Category:Cognitive and Neurological Disabilities]]
	~~<h2>Design considerations</h2>~~
	~~When we design for people with dyslexia, we need to:~~
	~~<ul>~~
	~~<li style="list-style-type: none;">~~
	~~<ul>~~
	~~<li>Use images and diagrams to support text</li>~~
	~~<li>Align text to the left and keep a consistent layout</li>~~
	~~</ul>~~
	~~</li>~~
	~~</ul>~~
	~~<ul>~~
	~~<li>Consider producing materials in other formats (for example, audio and video)</li>~~
	~~<li>Keep content short, clear, and simple</li>~~
	~~<li>Let users change the contrast between the background and the text</li>~~
	~~</ul>~~
	~~We need to avoid:~~
	~~<ul>~~
	~~<li>Using large blocks of heavy text</li>~~
	~~<li>Underlining words, using italics, or writing in all capitals</li>~~
	~~<li>Forcing users to remember things from previous pages. (Give reminders and prompts instead)</li>~~
	~~<li>Relying on accurate spelling. (Use autocorrect or provide suggestions instead.)</li>~~
	~~<li>Putting too much information in one place.</li>~~
	~~</ul>~~
