I wish textbook publishers would maybe think about this idea of universal
design when they are designing and laying out textbooks for adults. Larger
print, and laying things out in ways that would accomodate people with
visual spatial difficulties, would not make the textbooks harder to read
for those who do not have these difficulties.
