Title	Written expression in learning disabled adolescents
Author	Ragan, Karen
Subject	Learning disabled teenagers English language--Study and teaching (Secondary)
Abstract	This paper reviewed the current research on why learning disabled adolescents have failed in written expression and reported the latest and most effective strategies being used to teach written expression to learning disabled adolescents. Attention is also given to the assessment of written language. The practical implications of the research are related to the secondary classroom. A process approach to teaching expressive writing is discussed in terms of why it is important and how it is used. Two other models of instruction are proposed: a holistic model and linguistic model. Supplementary commercial programs were reviewed. Although written expression requires skills in the three areas of handwriting, spelling, and composition, only the area of composition was reviewed and reported in this paper. Literature since 1980 was reviewed with emphasis on the assessment of written language, why learning disabled adolescents have failed in written expression, key factors in selecting or designing a writing program for learning disabled adolescents, and expressive writing strategies for learning disabled students in the secondary classroom.
