I really liked the tempo of the presentation and the length of time the slides were up.
It was definitely dyslexic friendly. There is nothing worse than moving through the slides at a speed where dyslexics can't keep up, triggering anxiety, frustration, stress and feelings of inadequacy going all the way back to childhood. Thank you
