Makaton is a sign and symbol language programme used by
children and adults with speech language and communication
difficulties and those who care for them. It is designed for use to
support spoken language, so the signs and symbols are used with
speech, and in spoken word order.
It is used by more than 100,000 people in over 40 different countries (Devarakonda, 2012). John-Paul Riordan is a qualified Makaton Regional Tutor and an experienced teacher working part-time in a school for children who have learning difficulties.
The foundation course is for a minimum of 12 people and a maximum of 15, lasts 2 days and gives a detailed introduction to Makaton and half of the ‘core’ vocabulary (called stages 1 to 4). The cost of the workshop includes participant manuals (Modules 1-4), and pocket books of signs and symbols (Stages 1-4 and Additional).
