Makaton
Makaton is a language programme that uses signs and symbols, to enable people to communicate.
Makaton signing is used alongside speech in spoken word order. This will provide extra clues about what someone is saying.
Using signs can help children who are non verbal or whose speech is limited or unclear.
If you would like to learn some Makaton signing , that we regularly sign in nursery check out our ‘sign of the week’ below.
