Makaton training

Whether you're a parent wanting to communicate more fully with your child, or a practitioner supporting a pupil with Down syndrome in your setting, our online Makaton courses are a practical, friendly place to start.

Makaton combines signs, symbols and speech to help children with Down syndrome express themselves and understand the world around them. Our courses are designed specifically for people supporting children with Down syndrome – so you’ll learn the signs that matter most, in the contexts where you’ll actually use them.

All sessions are delivered online, so you can join from wherever works for you.
