An Introduction to Makaton

Welcome to An introduction to Makaton

Join Bristol Parent Carers and Ali Pennington on Tuesday 3rd March at 7pm

In this session we will learn the basics of Makaton, a unique language program that uses signs and symbols to support communication.

This session will not be recorded.

In this session, we will cover:

• Core vocabulary and a range of additional vocabulary for supporting children and young people with their communication
• How Makaton can be used to support communication, practical ways of incorporating the use of Makaton and next steps.
• You will receive a booklet of all the signs and symbols covered during the session for use during the training.

Places are free, but if you’re able to make a small donation to help us continue offering free sessions to as many families as possible, we’d be incredibly grateful.

*Please note, to attend this session for free, you must live in Bristol (your bin will be collected by Bristol City Council), or your child must attend a school in the Bristol city area. You must also have a child with Special Educational Needs, but they do not need to have a diagnosis.
