Expression of Interest- Makaton Training

Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills, one of the most important skills we need in life. Makaton supports those who have experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate effectivity and enables individuals to connect with other people and the world around them, opening up all kinds of possibilities.

This initiative aims to gauge level of interest in learning Makaton and is supported and funded by The Executive Office District Council’s Good Relations Programme. Course type and numbers are dependent on availability of budget and resources.
