Reading accessibility

The design of written content and reading interfaces to be usable by people with diverse literacy levels, cognitive abilities, language backgrounds, and sensory capabilities. Reading accessibility encompasses plain language, text simplification, adjustable typography (font size, spacing, contrast), structured content with clear headings, and alternative formats (audio, sign language video). For DHH readers whose primary language is a sign language, reading accessibility addresses the specific challenges of processing written text in what is effectively a second language with different grammatical structures.
