Designed primarily for neurodiverse, visually impaired, and dyslexic customers, Direct Access Large Print and Braille menus allow restaurant and bar owners to provide vital information about their food and drink products in a more simplified, accessible format. This removes the requirement for a family member or member of staff to read out the selection to customers, who may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and ensures restaurants are meeting their legal obligations under the Equality Act.
Each of our Accessible Media documents is produced in-house at Direct Access by a team led by Craig Acton, who himself was born with deteriorating eyesight and nystagmus.

Our Large Print Menus are produced entirely in-house and incorporate a Sans Serif font (usually Calibri) with an average font size of 28pt. Medium or bold type weights are used as recommended by the RNIB See It Right guidelines.
When requested, we can print menus onto coloured paper, which is especially beneficial to users with dyslexia, specific learning difficulties, or visual impairments.
Braille is the system of raised dots used for reading and writing by people who are blind or severely visually impaired.

Direct Access also prints A5 flash cards so your customers can access dual-accessibility applications, such as a Braille interpretation of a food or drink option on one side and a Large Print translation of the same product on the opposing side. This allows providers to swap options within a folder at their convenience without needing a reprint of the same menu.
