On 23th April we held Introduction to Makaton/ Refresher Training for Parents and Carers. Makaton is a language programme that combines signs, symbols and speech to support communication and is used at Rosehill as part of total communication approach. 

 

The session was led by our level 3 Teaching Assistant Sarah Newsham who is also a qualified Makaton trainer. Sarah delivered a parents’ Makaton session last year which was very well received.

 

You can also watch Makaton videos by Sarah on our website:

The session was very well received. Parents and carers enjoyed learning Makaton and practising signs. Further sessions will be planned next year.
