Introduction
At Essentials in Writing (EIW), we believe that every student has the potential to become a confident and skilled writer. Our curriculum is not only comprehensive and effective for all learners but is uniquely tailored to support students with learning differences such as ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and autism. By embracing a flexible and understanding approach, we ensure that these students are not just accommodated but truly empowered.
Why Inclusivity in Writing Matters
Writing is a critical skill that extends beyond academic success; it is a fundamental way of expressing thoughts, emotions, and ideas. However, traditional educational methods often do not cater adequately to those with learning differences, who might face unique challenges in processing, organizing, and expressing their thoughts. At EIW, we’re committed to changing this narrative by providing a curriculum that addresses these challenges head-on.
The EIW Approach to Supporting Diverse Learning Needs
Our curriculum uses a video-based approach that is especially beneficial for students with learning differences. Here’s how we make writing accessible and engaging for everyone:
- Short, Concise Video Lessons: Each lesson is delivered in a concise format that keeps the student engaged without overwhelming them. Students can pause, rewind, and rewatch these videos, allowing them to learn at their own pace.
- Visual Learning Aids: We incorporate graphic organizers and texts with larger fonts to help students visually organize their thoughts before they start writing. This step is crucial for those who struggle with dysgraphia or dyslexia, as it minimizes the stress of writing and aligns their thoughts cohesively.
- Step-by-Step Guidance: Our curriculum breaks down writing into manageable steps. Each part of the writing process is modeled in separate video lessons, making complex tasks more approachable and less daunting.
- Adaptive Learning Methods: Recognizing that traditional methods are not one-size-fits-all, we adapt our teachings to fit the needs of students with various learning differences. This approach helps bridge the gap between a student’s thoughts and their expression in writing.
Real Results and Positive Feedback
Feedback from parents and educators has highlighted significant improvements in the writing abilities of students with learning differences who use the EIW curriculum. Many report increased confidence, better engagement, and a clearer understanding of how to structure and express their ideas.

Our commitment at EIW goes beyond teaching students to write. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where every student’s learning needs are understood and supported.
