The Dyslexia Styles Guide
The Dyslexia Styles Guide is a free, easy-to-use resource that explains how simple changes to fonts, colours, spacing and layout can make text far more accessible for dyslexic readers. Whether you’re an employer, educator or designer, it gives you clear, practical guidance you can apply straight away.
Why it matters
Small changes, clearer documents, accessible for all
Making documents accessible isn’t just about compliance or ticking a box, it’s about recognising that people read in different ways. When you design with clarity in mind, choosing readable fonts, generous spacing, and sensible contrast, you remove barriers for readers with dyslexia, visual impairments, and cognitive differences who might otherwise struggle silently.
The best part is that accessible design helps everyone, not just those who need it most. Clear, well-structured documents are easier for all of us to scan, understand, and remember, whether we’re reading on a tiny phone screen, working while tired, or simply skimming for the information that matters. Good accessibility is simply good communication.
