There are millions upon millions of Canadians and Americans with a vast array of print disabilities who struggle to access, read, or interact with the downloadable content that is out there. This means: Your Public-Facing Content is Unreadable to over 3 Million Canadians.
Let us look at dyslexia, a learning difficulty that impairs a person’s ability to read and write. A person who is dyslexic and engages with your downloadable content online, could experience some of the following:
- Some letters may appear backwards or upside down
- Might see text jump around on a page
- Might not be able to tell the difference between letters that look similar in shape such as o, e, and c
- Might not be able to tell the difference between letters that have similar shape but different orientation, such as b, p, d
and q - The letters may seem jumbled and out of order
- The letters and words might look bunched together or letters of some words might appear completely backwards, such as the word bird looking like drib
- The text might look okay, but the dyslexic person might experience a severe headache or feel sick when they try to read
- They might see the letters okay, but not be able to sound out words — that is, not be able to connect the letters to the sounds they make and understand them
- They might be able to connect the letters and sound out words, but not recognize words he/she have seen before, no matter how many times they have seen them — each time they would have to start fresh.
There is of course a long list of other print disabilities that prevent users from engaging your downloadable content in a meaningful way including vision impairment or blindness, physical dexterity problems such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis or paralysis, brain injury or cognitive impairment, literacy difficulties, early dementia and more.
