Level 2 Makaton Training

Overview

Over 100,000 children and adults use Makaton symbols and signs, either as their main method of communication or as a way to support speech.

Makaton has been shown to be useful for all sorts of people including those who struggle with understanding concepts, those who have poor literacy skills, including grammatical knowledge, and those with English as an Additional Language. By using Makaton, children and adults can take a more active part in life, because communication and language are the key to everything we do and learn.
