There is not one font that will be optimal for all users with dyslexia. Experts disagree on which fonts provide the best readability. But simplicity in typefaces is critical. Ideally, use fonts that are familiar or at least easily-parsed so that they quickly become familiar.

Topeka Women's March had a rally today. They let us put our information out. Thank you so much. We also sent some info down to Lyon county.

Some of the crowd turn out from the #HandsOff protest in Topeka Kansas.
