Take a look at what the British Dyslexia Society is requesting of the British government--that when teachers are trained, there be mandatory Dyslexia training. From the petition: "All teachers should be trained to understand dyslexia, its impact on learning and what constitutes dyslexia friendly practice. Teachers should be aware of when to signpost learners for assessment and when to provide appropriate intervention."

Here is a link to a Dyslexia Style Guide from the British Dyslexia Society.
It includes information like this:
Do use paper thick enough that the text doesn't show through.
Do use fonts like Verdana, Arial, and Tahoma.
Don't use underlining or italics for headings or emphasis.
Do use bold instead.
