With the aging population in the US growing exponentially, many individuals will benefit from large print now and in the future. Large print is typically presented on glare-free paper. Text is evenly spaced and sized starting at 16 point with plenty of white space on the page. Images are kept to a minimum for an easier reading experience.

Whether large print is included in menus, brochures, or employee resources, offering this format can increase accessibility for individuals with difficulty reading standard print.

Here are a few reasons why offering large print is important:

1. Improved readability: Large print makes it easier for individuals with visual impairments to read and comprehend information. By increasing the font size, users can more easily identify letters, words and sentences, and reduce the strain on their eyes.
2. Accessibility for seniors: As people age, their eyesight naturally deteriorates, making it increasingly difficult for them to read small print. By offering large print, organizations can ensure that older individuals are able to access and understand important information.
3. Inclusiveness: By offering large print materials, organizations demonstrate their commitment to inclusion and accessibility. This sends a positive message to individuals with visual impairments and shows that they are valued and welcome.

Offering large print materials is an essential aspect of accessibility and inclusiveness. By making information more accessible to individuals with visual impairments, organizations can improve the user experience and demonstrate their commitment to accessibility and inclusiveness.
