Welcome,

I started my Blog as an assignment for an assistive technology course that I took as part of my Masters of Education in Inclusive Education. It is a collection of thoughts, reflections, ideas and resources related to assistive technology.

I hope you enjoy!

Task Analysis for Writing

Breaking down the writing process into individual components is a very detailed process indeed. Like the reading process task analysis, it is overwhelming to see everything students need to be able to do simultaneously, to execute the action of writing. But by doing this analysis, it highlights specific areas in which students may need compensation or remediation. Deciding on an intervention depends on what aspect of the writing process needs support. When a particular aspect of the process can be identifies, we have made the first step in helping that student. The next step is to select the right tool or strategy to best help the student.

For a detailed analysis of the writing process including a discussion of remediation vs compensation and a list of apps, software, tools and strategies including where in the writing process they could help, see the following blog:
