FAQs
What is Makaton?
Makaton is a unique language program that uses a combination of speech, signs (hand gestures), and symbols (pictures) to help people with learning or communication difficulties express themselves and understand others, supporting the development of spoken language through key-word signing in English grammatical order, unlike formal sign languages like BSL. It's widely used in schools, nurseries, and homes to build communication skills like attention, memory, and comprehension, making everyday interaction easier for those with communication challenges.
