This implies there is a study showing the open dyslexic font is actually not good? I can't say that would shock me, but it is surprising that they wouldn't have done some studies to justify the claims.
Edit: the second link wasn't loading for me, so now I see the study. Bad phone internet... :( Again, still surprised they didn't have the counter study.
> Results from this alternating treatment experiment show no improvement in reading rate or accuracy for individual students with dyslexia, as well as the group as a whole.
That's the key finding. And while "no effect" may sound harmless the Discussion section of the paper highlights all the ways having a popular ineffective solution is actively harmful to people with dyslexia.
Yeah, apologies for my post before the extra links loaded for me. Definitely should have either worded it with the expectation that the link was that study, or waited.
My intent was to express that surprise that they didn't have studies showing benefit. That is, the implication that really surprised me was the reverse, that there are not studies showing it works.
