Tips to Make Dashboards More Friendly for Dyslexia and Dyscalculia
Here’s what you can do:

  1. Use Clear, Consistent Language
    Avoid jargon and keep text short.
    Use familiar terms – e.g., instead of “YOY Variance,” try “Change from Last Year.”
    Don’t make users decode abbreviations or guess what you mean.
  2. Choose Fonts Wisely
    Avoid overly stylized or tightly packed fonts.
    Good choices: Arial, Calibri, Verdana, OpenDyslexic.
    Use sentence case instead of ALL CAPS – it’s easier to read and process quickly.
