Makaton

Makaton is a language programme using signs to help people to communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order.

For some students, Makaton will be a primary method of communication or a vital support to their everyday communication. For many others, frequent use of Makaton can help reinforce new vocabulary (e.g. characters or animals in a story), and offer chances for participation and movement (e.g. signing along with a song).
