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.

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.
