Makaton Early Years Taster session.
These short sessions are designed for people who are interested in finding out about Makaton and helping to decide whether to attend further Makaton Workshop training.
The Taster gives you a general introduction into what Makaton is and who uses it, and it gives you the opportunity to learn some Makaton too. You'll be shown the signs and symbols for around 30 useful everyday words, plus another 12 on an Early Years theme.
Participants receive handouts covering the vocabulary they have learned and general information regarding further Makaton training and Makaton resources.
