Looking for advice, resources, and textbook recommendations on

I'm tutoring someone with extensive software development expertise who's now looking to improve her technical writing skills. She's also dyslexic, and any resources specific to strategies and pedagogies for adult learners with dyslexia would be appreciated.

You'll see chiastic patterns in a lot of sonnets and poems.)
Brianna HyslopOf course I read that ridiculous Chronicle Review (lol) essay “Against the #WritingCenter “ and immediately lost my ability to be articulate about the utter ignorance on display about #WritingPrograms and #rhetcomp and WCs and the troubling opinions about what constitutes helpful written feedback for undergraduate (and graduate students)…
