The process approach to teaching writing can be a useful tool to develop important skills in emotionally disturbed/behavior disordered students. Skills such as self-exploration, self-expression, problem solving, risk taking, and interaction with others can be improved through the writing process. An enhanced self-concept is another product of this approach. The writing process can be broken down into four steps: pre-writing, composing, editing, and follow-up. Each step is briefly addressed.
