This study is aimed at investigating the writing skills of students with attention deficiency (attention deficit disorder). As a part of their assignments, middle school and high school students in India are required to write character sketches. In this study it was observed that students faced difficulties in imagining different aspects of the character. As a result they wrote short, incomplete and poorly detailed character sketches. According to a study , the problems students face while writing in English include grammar, syntax, spelling, punctuation and choice of vocabulary. This study is aimed at investigating the development of writing skills in students diagnosed with an attention deficit. Bronfenbrenner’s ‘Nature vs Nurture’ model was used to create a template for writing character sketches. Character sketches written by 10 students with AD were examined before and after the introduction of Bronfenbrenner’s model using a rubric. When Bronfenbrenner’s model was introduced to them, their ability to write a character sketch increased by 50 to 70 percent. The incorporation of Bronfenbrenner’s model helped the students form fuller character sketches by considering the different influencers in Bronfenbrenner’s ‘systems’ and their interactions with them.
