Care about communication.......

Makaton was developed in the 1970s to help people with learning disabilities to communicate. It is now widely used with a variety of children with communication difficulties.

The Makaton language programme consists of carefully researched words and signs to help children develop their communication skills using speech, signs, symbols and facial expressions.

The award-winning BBC TV series Something Special uses Makaton symbols and signs, as well as rhymes and songs, to help encourage communication and develop language in a fun and exciting way. 

All our nurseries teach children Makaton core vocabulary.
