This document discusses designing for children and adults with dyslexia. For children, opportunities include toys that motivate learning, while challenges include working within public school systems. For adults, more opportunities exist to design specific solutions, though less has been done and dyslexia affects people differently. The process discussed so far includes interviewing experts, online research, and group idea generation. Feedback is needed on whether to focus designs on children or adults.
