So i was thinking about a dyslexic theme for sphinx which can be toggled. Documents for code and explaining stuff could discourage a lot of dyslexic people. After doing research and testing with a dyslexic person i have an idea on what the theme could be.

Fonts and sizes:
Font sizes seem to be good already:
Headers should be bold and 18px which they already are.
Normal text should be 12-14 which they already are.
But after comparing Arial and comics sans with a dyslexic person they could understand the comic sans over Arial. So fonts should be Arial.

Colours:
Use single colour backgrounds.

I am still researching and may edit this post.
If you have any tips for a theme such as this please share.

I am dyslexic and would be willing to test this. I think it's a great idea

Perhaps Atkinson Hyperlegible? https://github.com/googlefonts/atkinson-hyperlegible
