Check out "Dyslexie: a typeface/font designed to mitigate some of the issues that dyslexics experience when reading." http://essay.utwente.nl/60474/
For a survey on techniques, check out:
Web accessibility and people with dyslexia: a survey on techniques and guidelines
http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2207016.2207047
We gathered some techniques that may also be applied in the mobile context.
Best regards,
Maby this site can help. I put together a list of research articles on the subject of assistive technology, mobile technolog (e.g. smart phones, iPad) in relation to dyslexia or special education needs.

Educational establishment recommended apps for dyslexics:

However the reason for lack research in this area, is apparently due to empheral nature of apps, here today gone tomorrow.
As dyslexic I found audio feedback as effect tool to support my students (dyslexic or not):
A. Nortcliffe and A. Middleton, “Smartphone feedback: using an iPhone to improve the distribution of audio feedback”, International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education Special Edition 48(3), 280-293, 2011
A.nortcliffe "Audio Feedback the long tail effect", Future of audio feedback, HEA event at Sheffield Hallam University, 14th January 2014, available at http://prezi.com/x_qa4yybqk2j/audio-feedback-the-long-tail-effect
My favourite apps on the iPhone are: recorder pro by Dava consulting, dragon speak (lovely app spells the words I can pronounce, but no idea how to spell)
MELSIG (http://melsig.shu.ac.uk) are trying to organise an event apps for dyslexic event fall 2014.
