Coloured paper for ADHD, dyslexia & visual processing

Coloured paper is beneficial for people with ADHD, dyslexia or other learning difficulties. For individuals with dyslexia, pastel paper shades, in particular, can be easier on the eyes, lower visual stress, and make text stand out more clearly than a plain white background. Every individual may have a specific colour of paper that they prefer. For individuals with ADHD, the use of a brighter or their preferred colour paper can keep their brain stimulated and focused, whilst for the visually impaired, a good colour contrast helps reduce glare and processing difficulties.
