Tips, tricks, techniques, hints. Call them what you will, these innovative, valuable ideas have the power to radically change the way you approach the creation of your materials and the assets you produce, as you prepare your next presentation, your next piece of content, or your next workshop activity. With today’s post, I’d like to share 5 simple ideas you can start implementing today, to make your content and the experience you create for your audience from the platform that much more inclusive of everyone, especially those who have disabilities or can easily be left out.

Let’s get started.

Make sure the quantity of text used on the screen is kept to a minimum, and choose more visually engaging and compelling ways to tell your story instead (dyslexia & learning disabilities)

Big walls of text on slides, or screens are off-putting for most people, and that’s especially true when it comes to someone who deals with dyslexia. Expecting anyone to read through large blocks of text as they’re also trying to pay attention to what you are saying as the speaker, especially from a distance, is unrealistic at best!
