"This book presents a unique visual approach to academic writing and composition tailored to the needs of dyslexic students in college settings and will help them successfully structure and articulate their ideas. The writing process is translated into meaningful visual representations in the form of templates, frameworks, images, icons and prompts designed to meet the very specific needs of dyslexic students. Underpinned by extensive research, this book help students to present their thoughts in a structured, sequenced and ordered way and is written to help them bridge the gap between their own coping strategies and the increased demands and rigours of academic writing." --Publisher description.
