Dyslexic friendly style starts with a different way of communication.

We consider dyscalculia as the difficulties in the acquisition of the elements of

math, which can appear at different levels of intelligence and

it causes regularly repeated failure or very low levels of sustained performance

at any topic of learning and acquisition and use of the counting.

A text can be written in the most legible letters and background, yet,

it is not a readable text.

DO NOT READ

It is the same you use a digital or a predigital device, the style matters.

Dyscalculia is an intelligence-independent, neurologically based

difficulty manifested in the counting abilities.

Shorter sequence of the information makes easer to process

the text.

Dyscalculia is an intelligence-independent, neurologically based

difficulty manifested in the counting abilities.

Even the most difficult definitions can be written in a readable form.

You understand a topic, if you can make it easily understandable.

1. Segment the text

2. Use short words if possible

3. Create short sentences

4. Leave out words having no relevant meaning

Useful methods should be used even better if you want create

friendly texts.

5. Bulletting helps a lot

6. Many bullets are confusing

7. Three elements = the best

8. Five elements = the optimum

Accessibility means the accessible format

and style, too.
