Supporting Writers through Neuro Sensitive Tools
Every brain processes differently. Therefore, each brain has specific needs. Below are research-based tools that Dr. Harrison has developed to help writers and writing tutors, whether you or your client is ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, Anxious, OCD, etc., or even neuro-typical.
Paragraph Builder
With this free, easy-to-use tool, originally created by Dan Harrison and then re-designed by Owen Rempfer, you are able to create larger compositions using a sentence-by-sentence approach rather then feeling overwhelmed by the overall task of paragraph or essay writing. The paragraph builder can be easily accessed online or downloaded in the links below.
