Makaton Taster Session - Suitable for parents, carers & professionals

💖 Makaton Taster Session with Karen

Join us for a friendly introduction to Makaton, delivered by local mum, teacher and qualified Makaton Tutor, Karen.

Karen began her Makaton journey to support her non-verbal child and help develop his communication skills. Through both her personal and professional experience, she has seen first-hand the positive impact Makaton can have on communication, confidence and inclusion.

This taster session is ideal for parents, carers, family members, volunteers and professionals who would like to learn more about Makaton and how it can be used to support communication. No previous experience is required.

During the session, Karen will introduce some basic signs and symbols, explain how Makaton can be used alongside speech, and share practical tips for using it at home, in education and within the community.

Please note: This is a small-group learning session designed for parents, carers and professionals who wish to learn Makaton. The session will take place in a small room with limited space, so it is not suitable for younger children or those who are not participating in the learning activities. Older siblings with an interest in learning Makaton are very welcome to attend.

☕ Refreshments will be available.

💜 Suggested donation: £1–£2 per person towards tea, coffee and biscuits.

A huge thank you to Karen for generously volunteering her time, knowledge and experience to support local families and professionals.
