We use the Fitzgerald Key to determine the background colour of symbols. Within a communication board the verbs, descriptors and nouns are often organized alphabetically to support early literacy development.
TIPS FOR COLOUR CODING
Use lighter colour shades
For nouns, you may want to colour the border of the image rather than the background. If you do this, thicken the border.
