Why I'm glad we learned Makaton
We have always used Makaton, signs and symbols, with Tom. He has Down’s and his speech is really difficult to understand, even for us.

Using Makaton for Maths
I am a Makaton Regional Tutor offering training to carers and professionals who work with Makaton users from the whole age range. That role takes up about three weeks of my professional year, the rest of the time I am a speech and language therapist working in paediatrics.

Thank you, Oliver
I help out at a club for 5-8 year old boys called "Beavers" and I provide one-to-one support for a little boy called Oliver who has Downs syndrome and autism. Oliver can't talk: he uses Makaton.

The Makaton Friendly Links Café
Eighteen months ago, myself and a colleague, Cheryl, were working together in a local specialist college: she was the Deputy Principal and I was the Speech and Language Therapist.
