Living in an independent world where I need to use Makaton daily, from reminding me to lock the front door with symbol reminders to booking my holidays and going on adverntures and everythiing in between.
Hot bread was one of my first signs, this was my way of asking for toast. The symbols I didn’t like, I would flush down the toilet (often blocking it up), and the ones I liked, I wouldn’t let anyone touch! But this was how I communicated throughout my childhood and teenage life.
I still use Makaton now, although I no longer flush symbols down the toilet, I am happy to say! I still rely on sign and symbols daily in both my personal and work life. I’d like to share my journey with you, so come along to the webinar if you would like to hear more.
