Explanation

All of us have one or another disability. Dyslexia is just one among them. Don’t think that people with disabilities have low intelligence. That isn’t the case.

Dyslexia affects a part of the brain. People with Dyslexia have a normal intelligence level like you and I have.

You could help such people on your website by keeping your level of English language low. Think that you are writing for the 7th-grade students. Make sure you don’t have long and complex sentences in your writing. Also, you can avoid complex words and replace them with simple words that have the same meaning.
