Studies suggest that more than half of children with ADHD struggle with writing. In most cases, these students have an overflow of creative ideas — children with ADHD are known for their inspiring imaginations, after all — but they often struggle when it comes to getting these magical ideas onto paper.

This “ADHD writer’s block” is for a number of reasons: children with ADHD have difficulty picking essay topics, locating appropriate resources, holding and manipulating information in their memory, organizing and sequencing the material, and getting it down on paper — and that’s all before they’ve forgotten what it was they wanted to say!

But these hurdles don’t have to stop them from expressing themselves through writing. This free download covers 18 simple writing tricks that can help your child improve her skills and become a more confident writer, including:

  • Classroom solutions to guide the writing process
  • When and how to implement accommodations
  • High-tech writing helpers for kids with ADHD
  • And more!

Discuss the included strategies with your child’s teacher — they’re the key to helping your child overcome her fear of writing essays and turn out term papers with ease.
