About Makaton
Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.
Being able to communicate is one of the most important skills we need in life. Almost everything we do involves communication; everyday tasks such as learning at school, asking for food and drink, sorting out problems, making friends and having fun. These all rely on our ability to communicate with each other.
Makaton Sing & Sign Choir
Makaton Sing & Sign Choir
It has been a privilege to come together as a community and to provide an all-inclusive choir to all generations; mums, dads, carers, grandparents, children, professionals and adults.
There is a huge sense of belonging and being a part of something at the choir, all while learning new communication skills and Makaton signs.
