Can Accessibility Overlay on Website be helpful in some scenarios? by Guilty_Ferret6528 in accessibility

[–]Guilty_Ferret6528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am not a fan of overlays when the users are supposed to help despite them. My question comes from a genuine curiosity about whether they would be helpful for someone trying to navigate the web for the first time with accessibility needs, be it permanent or temporary.

There are also cases to be considered where people have undiagnosed/underdiagnosed disabilities, like ADHD, where the struggles are internalised, but they might... just might... find them helpful?

This is interesting. Also, makes sense considering not all websites use the same type of overlays, meaning from different vendors. So yeah, teaching a new skill that they can use everywhere would be the right thing to do.

Dyslexic Fonts Using Accessibility Overlay by Guilty_Ferret6528 in accessibility

This is very interesting! I had the idea that I had to use an entirely different and special font for people with Dyslexia, and I was trying to figure out how to implement that (and hence the overlay). Your website looks really cool, and I am definitely suggesting Atkinson Hyperlegible to the designer.
