  • Makaton training level 1

    • This course takes place over two sessions, on 8 and 15 November, both 10am-1pm.

      Run by qualified Makaton trainers from Talbot Specialist School, this course will teach you the Makaton signs from Stage 1. We will practice together in a relaxed way and discuss hints and tips for Makaton signing. The total cost for both sessions is £22 per person, which is purely to cover the cost of the Makaton manuals. Family members who can share manuals only need to pay for one participant. Fees can be waived for parents on means-tested benefits – please contact us.
