Accessible manuals

[Patricia Cluss]

We have recently received a request to develop taharah manual(s) with accessible formatting so that folks with dyslexia, autism and other processing disabilities will be able to read the manual more easily.   I understand this can include some or all of:

-large print

-serif fonts for condensed paragraphs like in a book

-large print non serif fonts for single lines

-color contrasting for various visual needs

-color coding key information 

-avoidance of bold print for low vision individuals

-dyslexia friendly fonts and brevity

-ensuring paragraph placement is compatible with speech to text

-clear use of visual aids 

-braille and tactile images

Do any chevras out there have experience with creating manuals with accessible formatting?

What a fantastic question, Pat.

Our PCK liturgy is up for revision this year, and we need to include these accessibility features as well, so thank you so much for listing them. We do currently have a large print laminated version, and there is color coding for male/female/non-binary options. We have one gender-inclusive liturgy. 

With care,

Liz
