About this Event
Makaton is a language programme that uses signs and symbols, alongside speech, to enable people to communicate. It has been developed to support essential communication skills, such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.
This introductory workshop will provide you with an overview of Makaton and who uses it, and you will learn over 30 key signs and symbols. Following the workshop you will receive email handouts of the signs and symbols learnt and a certificate of completion.
After booking - Once you have booked a place you will receive an email confirmation from Eventbrite. Prior to the workshop you will receive a Zoom link to access the session. You will need to download Zoom in advance but you don’t need to set up an account if you don’t wish to. Zoom can be used on PC’s/Laptops and mobile devices such as iPad, phones and tablets. If you have any questions, please get in touch and we will happily talk you through setting this up if required.
If workshop is full - places can become available and we are very proactive at ensuring all places are taken on our workshops. In order to join the waitlist, please open Eventbrite via an internet browser, rather than using the Eventbrite app, in order to book yourself onto the waitlist.
Please note this workshop is funded by Reaching Families for parents and carers of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities in West Sussex only. It is not suitable for professionals.
