Written Expression

Written expression


Written expression is the ability to write down information and ideas (using sentences, correct grammar and spelling) such that the intent of the author is clear and can be understood by others. It is a complex process (Margaret J. Kay 2006). It does not refer to the physical task of producing written text.

The ability to effectively convey ideas and information in written form is a necessary requirement in many workplaces across all industries, especially those which are office based. This task can be particularly difficult for those with a specific learning disability, an intellectual disability or other cognitive impairment.

Examples of written expression relevant to the workplace include the production of instructions, reports, procedure manuals, formal correspondence and emails. It can be very stressful for people who have difficulty expressing themselves in writing. This can also have ramifications in the workplace regarding job performance and continued employment.
