🗣️ Voices of Lived Experience — Dyslexia

Direct words shared about what really helps:

  1. 🌈 “I don’t know how it works – but if the words are colourful, it registers faster, the brain needs to think less.”

  2. 📖 “For people like me, black and white are the norm. When the words are colourful, they are better to read.”

  3. 🔍 “If I select a word on screen, then it must explain in plain language the meaning.”

  4. 🌍 “If I still don’t know, there must be a language option to translate.”

💡 These reflections highlight practical needs:

  • Color & font choices make reading easier and faster.
  • Plain-language explanations help untangle meaning.
  • Translation options provide a safety net when words don’t land.

Accessibility isn’t abstract — it’s lived. These are voices worth centering. 💙
