Just something I’m looking at right now – I’ve recently started a blog & something I’d like to have is the option for a user to select a dyslexic font that would override the current font on the site.
Does anyone know if there are any plugins that would be suitable for this? Or if it’s possible through coding? I haven’t looked into the coding side yet – rather focusing on the plugin side, but nothing has been coming up so far.

There is also https://dyslexiefont.com/en/typeface/ It has font packs, and a chrome extension that you might find works well for your child.
If you want a blog user to be able to toggle on/off a dyslexia-focused font like opendyslexic it’s certainly possible. You could have a body class or main container class to change everything on the page. You could have a button that would update the CSS to toggle the font, but you’d also need to set a cookie for the user so that on page load a function could check for the cookie and set the user’s desired font.
FYI, this snippet will not work if you run it since you can’t set cookies in a sandboxed environment like snippets, but it should give you and idea of what you would need to do.
