Copyright in the UK is covered by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. Exceptions to copyright are required under international legislation covered by the Marrakesh Treaty for print disabled/visually impaired people. This international law does not cover other impairments, such as dyslexia, but the UK’s Intellectual Property Office guidance does, as long as the person has lawful access to the original work and there are no commercially available accessible versions.
