Dyslexie Font

With Dyslexie Font, every letter is uniquely shaped, eliminating the common reading errors of dyslexia.

Bionic reading

Bionic reading is a form of reading whereby certain letters in a word are highlighted so the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain complete the rest of the word.

It’s not available yet for Office 365 however, there are various free apps for both iPhone and Android. There is also a free add-on for the Google Chrome browser and this works with Canvas.
