Do Special Fonts Help People with Dyslexia? - International Dyslexia Association Christian Boer, a self-identified individual with dyslexia and developer of the Dyslexie font, claims that the font positively impacts the reading performance

A note on "comic sans is easier for dyslexics to read:" there's no evidence of the efficacy of "dyslexic friendly" fonts: dyslexiaida.org/do-special-f...

Other studies have similarly shown no difference between common fonts for reading speed and fluency

Teaching is a job that is never done, stop killing yourself try to complete it, because you can’t… and that’s okay.
