Justified text can be difficult to read for both dyslexic and non-dyslexic readers because it creates large and uneven spaces between words. This may lead to a distracting river of whitespace. When this occurs, dyslexic readers may easily lose their place when reading. To avoid this, use left-aligned text instead.

Double spacing after periods can also be difficult for readers with dyslexia. This practice may also result in rivers of whitespace between sentences. It can lead to some readers having trouble finding the end of sentences.

Long blocks of unbroken text are actually difficult for dyslexic readers — and honestly, everyone — to read because it’s easy for people to lose their place in these types of paragraph. It’s better to use short paragraphs to express a singular idea. That’s because dyslexic readers need more breaks and pauses in between reading than non-dyslexic readers. Breaking up your paragraphs isn’t just a good practice for dyslexic readers, it’s a good practice for all users.

Case 1
An online retail store has just done some consumer testing and realized there’s an entire subset of people who don’t use their site at all. Primarily the blind and low vision, these consumers find it difficult to navigate their website because they have a hard time reading its content. What can this online retail store do to reach these consumers?
Case 2
FourK holds a monopoly on the utensil and dinnerware industry. After some recent observations, they discover a new pain point with their products — for people of low mobility, it can be difficult to eat sometimes. For example, people with Parkinson’s may shake too much when they’re trying to lift their soup spoon. What products can they design to make eating easier?
Final Thoughts
“
With respect to design, I started to think that recognizing exclusion is a skill we can build. It’s an actionable starting point for thinking in new ways about how well a design does or doesn’t meet a person’s needs or preferences. Once we learn how to recognize exclusion, we can begin to see where a product or experience that works well for some might have barriers for someone else. Recognizing exclusion sparks a new kind of creativity on how a solution can be better.
