Seven accessible PDFs, available now
Study tools that work with your nervous system, not against your brain.
Willow makes low-friction PDF guides, planners, and scripts for neurodivergent students — from high school through postgraduate research. Every resource is designed for screen readers, printing, skimming, and the days when starting is the hardest part.
- High school
- Undergraduate
- Graduate
- Postgraduate & postdoc
About
We make the resource you wish someone had quietly handed you before the semester got loud.
Willow began with a simple question: what would academic support look like if it assumed an ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, dyspraxic, chronically tired, or twice-exceptional brain from the first draft?
Every guide is written as a practical tool, not a pep talk. The goal is to make the next academic action smaller, clearer, and kinder: an email you can send, a reading system you can restart, a study plan that leaves room for sensory load and recovery.
We are a tiny independent studio. Quiet by design, plain on purpose, and committed to accessible PDFs as the product itself.

The First Five Minutes Kit
A 32-page PDF for the fragile beginning of a study session, when “just start” is not useful advice. Designed to be skimmed, re-skimmed, printed, or read on a phone in the library bathroom at 11 p.m.
- Single-page weekly anchor with energy bands, not hour blocks.
- Task triage card: now / soon / later / not for me.
- Transition scripts for context-switching between classes, labs, and rest.
- Three printable focus mats — minimal, mid, and tactile variants.
- Plain-language summary on every section, with tagged structure and screen-reader checks before release.
Designed for
The hard parts — not the inspirational poster version.
-
01
Starting
Tools for the wall between deciding to study and actually beginning. Triage cards, transition scripts, and tiny first actions.
-
02
Staying
Sustaining attention without grinding. Energy-band planners, body-doubling cues, and re-entry prompts after interruptions.
-
03
Asking
Self-advocacy scripts for emailing professors, requesting accommodations, and naming what you need without rehearsing it for a week.
-
04
Recovering
Post-deadline, post-exam, post-meltdown checklists. Permission-to-rest worksheets that actually let you rest.
How we make decisions
A storefront for students who are tired of being treated like an edge case.
We design for the moment when a student has already spent their energy explaining themselves. The resource has to be usable before the perfect context exists.
We avoid shame-based productivity language. If a tool only works on a perfect day, it is not finished yet.
Every PDF should work on screen, on paper, and under stress. That means generous spacing, logical reading order, and high-contrast variants.
The library is intentionally small. We would rather make seven useful PDFs carefully than launch a giant library no one can navigate.
Launch note: reader testimonials will appear here only after readers have given explicit permission.
Updates
Hear about new titles.
One short email when a new PDF is ready. No drip campaign, no countdown timers, no urgency theatre. Join once and we will send only new-title notes, updates to existing PDFs, and occasional beta invitations.
- Roughly one email a month, at most.
- Plain text option in every send.
- Your address is never sold or shared.
Are the PDFs available now?
Yes. All seven titles are available now through Payhip. Each one was checked for accessibility before release, and we keep revising them based on reader feedback.
Are the PDFs really accessible, or is "accessible" just marketing?
Every PDF is planned with tagged document structure, a logical reading order, plain-language section summaries, and alt text for every meaningful image. Before selling a title, we will check screen-reader flow and publish plain accessibility notes. If something fails for you, we want to know and we will fix it.
Will there be print-friendly and screen-friendly versions?
Yes. Each title ships in A4 and US Letter, with a high-contrast print variant and a low-stimulation screen variant. The screen variant avoids large solid colour blocks and uses a calmer palette.
Who is Willow for, exactly?
Students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette's, and other neurodivergent profiles — diagnosed or self-identifying — from high school through postdoctoral work. Allistic students, instructors, and disability services staff are very welcome too; the materials were designed to be useful, not gatekept.
How will pricing work?
Individual PDFs will be modestly priced, with a name-your-price option that goes down to free for students who need it — no form, no proof, no questions. Institutional licences for disability services teams will be available at a separate rate.
Is there an AI chatbot or training-data thing here?
No. The .ai in the name is a domain choice, not a product. The PDFs are written by humans, reviewed by humans, and tested by neurodivergent humans. We do not sell your data and we do not train models on subscriber content.
Accessibility statement
Accessibility is the product, not a footer link.
We design Willow PDFs and this site to meet WCAG 2.2 AA as a floor, not a ceiling. In practice, that means:
- Tagged PDF structure with a logical reading order and bookmarks.
- Plain-language summaries at the top of every section.
- Alt text for all meaningful images and diagrams; decorative imagery is marked as such.
- 4.5:1 minimum contrast for body text, visible keyboard focus, and no information conveyed by colour alone.
- A reduced-motion mode that honours
prefers-reduced-motion. Nothing autoplays, nothing flashes. - A dark mode that respects your system setting.
If a PDF, page, or form ever blocks you, email hello@wwilloww.ai and we'll respond within five working days — with a fix or an honest timeline.
