Being able to communicate effectively is one of the most important aspects of life, however many people struggle with communication, especially those with SEND.
At Seashell, we provide training courses from our ‘Introduction to Makaton’ course for beginners, to our Makaton Levels 1 to 4. Our Makaton courses are designed for both professionals and parents/carers to understand and learn the benefits of this widely used form of communication.
Lynsey, Speech and Language Therapist at Seashell said: “Makaton is a hugely beneficial language programme which uses signs and symbols to support speech and help with communication more broadly. It can be used by people of all ages as a way to increase confidence and decrease frustration around communication. Using Makaton can be empowering for both the person with a communication difficulty and their wider circle of family and friends.”
