The Elementa team really enjoyed yesterday evening’s Makaton taster session run by Ali Pennington.
This was a fun, interactivbe session offering a great introduction to Makaton, learning various signs and symbols.
The Makaton taster session held at Pure Offices, Weston-super-Mare was attended by people from all walks of life including child minders and those working in schools.
Makaton uses signs, symbols and speech to help people communicate. Signs are used, with speech, in spoken word order. This helps provide functional clues about what someone is saying. Using signs can help people who have no speech or whose speech is unclear. Using symbols can help people who have limited speech and those who cannot, or prefer not to sign.
The evening was run by Ali Penningon, one of Elementa’s trusted partners. Further details about Ali’s Makaton taster sessions and courses can be found at https://www.facebook.com/alimakatontutor
