Nothing specific to dyslexia in the AT world that I know of. I often increase the font size on a page or software when I am having troubles, so having that option or using something like ZoomText to focus in on specific areas of a page at a time may be helpful to some. Also I flip the contrast on my code editor sometimes (white text on black background) and that helps.

I have also checked fonts that are designed to increase readability, like
http://opendyslexic.org/

I don't notice a difference with them, but many do.
