Shape Coding intervention
The Shape Coding approach was designed by Speech and Language Therapist Dr Susan Ebbels at Moor House School & College in the late 90s. It is the system that, through shapes, colours and arrows teaches spoken and written grammar. This approach is evidence-based and proven to work for children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). However it has also been successfully used by many for children with learning disabilities such as Down Syndrome or specific disorders such as Autism. It can be used to teach simple Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) sentences, pronouns, plurals or tenses but you could also use it to teach the whole narratives.
