I agree with others that universal design is the best approach. For dyslexia, some people focus on legibility (some recommendations are at http://accessibility.psu.edu/legibility/). Other relevant WCAG guidelines include giving extra time to process information (i.e. minimize rapid page changes, give sufficient warning time, etc.) Some additional recommendations for learning disabilities in general can be found at http://accessibility.psu.edu/learningdisorders/. However, you will likely see that a lot of guidelines for dyslexia/learning disorders mirror general usability guidelines. In short, if you follow the WCAG guidelines, you really will benefit everyone.

For this reason, making a website accessible for people with dyslexia leads to entirely follow the W3C guidelines. But, is there any specific standards or criteria for people with dyslexia? > Thanks a lot. > > -- > Juliette =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Elizabeth J.
