Both of my kids struggled with different degrees and types of reading disorders - and it did help them quite a bit.  From a personal (non-dyslexic) perspective, I find the use of that font considerably slows down my reading (like many people, I read primarily by unconsciously recognizing the overall shape of most words rather than parsing out the individual letters).  This is one of the things I like about reading EPUB/MOBI files over PDFs - having your reading device/app swap out the font is usually pretty easy.  Of course, laying out a book for this type of format is a very different proposition than PDFs (the concept of distinct pages - and page layout - doesn't really exist with EPUB/MOBI files).</blockquote>
