For my practical piece I will be creating a set of worksheets for pupils that have special needs and learning disabilities to show how different pupils work differently according to the colour and type used.
Autistic Children -
Colours need to be carefully considered when not only designing for autistic children but as well as their enviroment. Using softer paler colours are best to use to avoid a sensory overload. Autistic children see colour a lot more vivid than we do so designing with colours that are paler will cause less stress to the child.
Dyslexic Children
Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.
So when designing for children with dyslexia it is important to consider colour as well as type. People who struggle with dyslexia prefer a pale cream/yellow background with either black or off black type. Also using certain typefaces is easier on the eye such as arial, comic sans, verdana as well as custom made typefaces for dyslexic people.
I want to design a set of worksheets and certificates according to special needs children and children with learning disabilities. As there are already resources out there for school children I wanted to cater to every need so it is fair and also considerate.
