I started learning Makaton sign language several years ago in a range of settings. Participating in structured training sessions while working at a special needs school I explored Makaton sign language at a basic, intermediate and advanced level.
I love being able to utilise sign language as part of my communication skills and makaton has proven incredibly helpful outside of the formal special needs education environment too. It’s always helped reinforced communication with a wide range of mainstream pupils and has enabled me to communicate effectively with adults with diverse needs.
Makaton is a language programme that uses signs and symbols to help people communicate, there’s some great resources on the Makaton.org website which are definitely worth checking out.
