Colourful Semantics

What is Colourful Semantics?

Colourful Semantics is an approach created by Alison Bryan, which is a visual way of supporting grammar development. It helps children understand how the meanings of words (semantics) are linked in sentences using colour coding, symbols and signs.

Georgia Burke, Autism SRB Lead, has completed the Colourful Semantics training delivered by Alison Bryan herself.
