Colour Therapy Cards for Bilingual Children
These resources were originally released in 2004 as a CD-ROM where Speech and Language Therapists could print off the cards and laminate them. The CD-ROM contained the Microsoft Word Reader app, as well as files for:
- ACTIONS: 4 sets of Baby girl, Boy, Girl and Man carrying out everyday actions such as 'the girl is brushing her hair'. These are not made available here as the consent for the models is no longer applicable. These photo cards pre-dated the BASS which is available here.
