Reading difficulties
Next to the difficulties you will find possible ways to address them.
| Difficulty | Ways of reducing the impact |
|---|---|
| Glare from white paper or text blurs, distorts or jumps around. | Try using a coloured acetate or coloured plastic folder over the text to remove the glare. |
| Print size makes it difficult to concentrate or focus on reading. | Use a photocopier to enlarge text. Scan text on to a PC and enlarge it. |
| Difficulty in understanding a particular section of text. | Read the text aloud. Ask a friend to read it aloud to you. Scan text into your PC and use read back facility in TextHelp Read & Write to listen to the words. |
