Dyslexia (EFI: Research Paper)
Other than the conference, the other assignment for Education for Inclusion (EFI) was to research a topic. If our presentation at the conference was to be related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, then our research paper should be on a disability and vice versa. As I chose to give my conference presentation on a topic related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, I chose to do my research paper on dyslexia as it is a very prevalent disability, and one which I think it is important to know about and know how to accomodate — so I chose the topic partially as a reason to educate myself on the topic.
One of the topics was font, so I compiled two versions of the paper:
- one in the dyslexia-specific font “Open Dyslexic” (specifically I used OpenDyslexic3). Both the compiled pdf and source .tex are available.
- one in Computer Modern Sans Serif font. Again, both the compiled pdf and source .tex. the BibTeX file with the associateed references is also available.
