Makaton is a distinctive sign language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people with communication difficulties to communicate effectively.
Communicate is a fundamental aspect of human’s life. It is not only just a choice it is a law that everyone has the right communicate. (UNCRC 1948) Subsequently, Makaton is a language programme that can be adjusted to suit various communication needs.
Imagine not being able to communicate simple needs such as, I am hot, I want more, I need the toilet or I am sad. Etc. Yes! It would be terrible. This is why Makaton is the perfect language programme for such unfortunate instances where children have difficulties communicating.
Makaton can help all children (especially children with SEN) to development essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.
With Makaton, signs are used, with speech, in spoken word order. This helps provide extra 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.
