Melody Oshiro approached Opto with the momunental task of developing a site with an interface which would be clean and easy to use for people with learning disabilities. Melody’s organization is the Learning Disabilities Association Fraser South, and after 8 months of intensive development their new website can be seen at ldafs.org.

LDAFS provided Opto with valuable information to assist in the design of the interface. This information was the result of obtained studies for users with learning disabilities such as what typeface and size is best read by users with learning disabilities, which colours provide a warm and comfortable user experience, and specific functionality such as increasing or decreasing text size to ease reading.

With the content management system, The folks at LDAFS can now update the entire website by themselves.

Both OptoDesign and LDAFS wish the best of luck to those who will benefit the most from this project: children with learning disabilities and their parents.
