Established in the 1970’s, the Makaton language programme is widely recognised internationally. Makaton uses signs, symbols and speech to help people communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech in spoken word order, which helps provide extra clues about what someone is saying. With Makaton, children and adults can communicate straightaway with signs and symbols. For those who have experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate meaningfully or effectively, Makaton opens up all kinds of possibilities by enabling people to connect with others and with the world around them.
