Course Information Who should attend? This course is provided for people who work in the care sector and are required to have knowledge and understanding of Makaton which is a communication tool that has been used for many years to support people with learning / speech difficulties. It is made up of a combination of speech, signs, symbols, gesture and facial expressions. Over the last few years, it has become widely recognised and used within many different services to support communication. Although Makaton is extremely beneficial to support communication, it is also lots of fun to learn too! Children and adults who have difficulty understanding and speaking often become frustrated or withdrawn. By using Makaton, we are helping them to communicate with friend and staff members. For those who have experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate meaningfully or effectively, Makaton really can help. Makaton takes away that frustration and enables individuals to connect with other people and the world around them. This opens up all kinds of possibilities. Course delivery The one-day course will provide an insight into the background of Makaton and who it can benefit. Sessions include discussing commonly asked questions, hints and tips for effective signing and symbol use and how to start using Makaton in everyday situations at work. This course is delivered in 1 day of classroom training led by a professional instructor to cover the all course elements.
