Notes de l'éditeur
Explain that bottom three points say the same thing as the top point. Only quotes should be typed out in full (although a sound file would be better).
Explain that B&W is worst colour combination for people with Dyslexia. Pale colours can still be used effectively as next few slides show (slide 12 has a simple gradient if you want to make it a bit more interesting)
