On the video training we will run through the Colourful Semantics approach and also provide you with inspiration for classroom implementation

What is Colourful Semantics?

Colourful Semantics is the ‘meaning of the words’ and this is made colourful by breaking down and colour coding different parts of a sentence. Colourful Semantics is a speech and language therapy intervention that indirectly works on developing a child’s grammar through the use of:

– Spoken sentences
– Answering W/H questions
– Use of nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives
– Story telling skills
– Written sentences and language comprehension

You will be able to work through the Colourful Semantics programme to encourage the child to create sentences. This is initially taught by focusing on sorting out colours, which will then progress to an understanding that there are different parts that make up a sentence.

The overall aim is for the child to eventually produce grammatical and informational sentences.

To assist you with implementation in the classroom, downloadable resources are available on our website or you can follow our Facebook resources page to see the latest topic based classroom resources.

Who is this training for?

The course is open to SENCos / Teachers / Teaching Assistants / Speech and Language Therapists / Other professionals

Please note: This training is to help you understand the structure and approach of colourful semantics and the principles on how it is intended to be used. The training does not cover in detail the topic of how to differentiate to the range of client groups and settings and the trainer will not have time to answer any specific questions on client groups. We do run practical follow up courses and handholding support sessions if you are looking for personalisation to your setting. Please enquire @ training@integratedtreatments.co.uk
