Don't discount that.  My daughter has a learning disability that makes
it extremely difficult for her to express herself in written form.  A
counselor introduced her to Inspiration, which is essentially a
"mind-mapping" package for Windows, and it is absolutely amazing to me
how much it helps her get her ideas on paper in an organized fashion. 
I've tried it, and it drives me nuts, but for her, it clearly lets her
see things on paper in the same way she sees them in her brain.
