--- Comment #11 from Bartosz DziewoƄski <[email protected]> ---
So I've done a little research.

I was unable to find the dropdown you were speaking of anywhere on
http://www.dyslexia-usa.com/ (which by the way appears to break some of the
guidelines I've found - it uses small font size, large paragraphs, distracting
colors), but I've found two sites that seem actually helpful:

First one is http://www.dyslexia.com/ , particularly these two subpages:
** http://www.dyslexia.com/library/webdesign.htm - it includes a nice list of
tips, all of which seem to make sense to me and many of which MediaWiki already
follows
** http://www.dyslexia.com/customize.htm - which is the style customisation
form for their site. Among other things, it allows for choosing your color
scheme(including allowing for the use of browser's default colors) and uses a
nice font by default (Trebuchet) instead of the god-awful Arial MediaWiki uses.

This website also, unlike http://www.dyslexia-usa.com/ , seems to follow its
own advice. Unfortunately they use Verdana for the sidebar menus regardless of
your settings, but at least it's not Arial.

And the second one: http://antijingoist.github.com/web-accessibility/ - I'm not
dyslexic myself as far as I know, but I can see this sort of behavior being
helpful for me as well. It also showcases a font which has apparently been
designed for dyslexics.

Gerard, do you think any of these could be helpful?
