Makaton Training

Makaton is a multi-modal language programme that uses signs, symbols and speech for children and adults with speech, language and communication needs to build on their understanding and use of speech and language.

These are fun, informal sessions with a chance to practice the signs and symbols taught with each other and learn a new skill. You will receive workbooks and a certificate of attendance.

These sessions are ran online. To book or check availability, please email us:
