These sessions are for parents and professionals – class leaders, tutors, teachers, nursery practitioners, sports coaches and more!

This 3-hour interactive workshop is designed for early years professionals who want to create calm, engaging and inclusive environments where all children can thrive. Makaton helps children connect, express themselves, and feel understood, even before they can speak

Everyday Vocabulary – this set of 36 concepts are crafted to give participants a solid foundation in Makaton, covering verbs, adjectives, and nouns, thus enabling attendees to seamlessly integrate both signs and symbols right from the start.
Bespoke Vocabulary – specifically curated for this workshop, this set introduces 46 concepts directly relevant to Early Years Settings .
