MAKATON AT HOME” with Xanthe Maley Speech and Language Therapist

Join us for an engaging, interactive session designed for parents of children with speech and language communication difficulties. Learn how Makaton is combined within a total communication approach to support language development.

Xanthe will be teaching popular Makaton signs to communicate:

• Emotions/feelings e.g. happy, sad, angry, hungry, tired
• Places e.g. hospital, school/college
• People e.g. doctor, dentist, teacher, nurse, police
• Animals e.g. dog, cat, horse, bird
• Time e.g. morning, night, bedtime, now, later, today, tomorrow
• Pleasantries/requests e.g. please, thank you, help, wait, stop, calm down
