Makaton Training for Community Organisations

​

Makaton Training for Community & People-Focused Organisations

Makaton can support communication in many different environments.

I provide practical Makaton training for community organisations, local services and other organisations that want to develop more inclusive communication.

Training is available in person across the South West and online across the UK.

​

Supporting More Inclusive Communication

Your organisation may work with people who have speech, language or communication difficulties without Makaton currently being part of your everyday practice.

​

Training can help your team:

  • Understand Makaton and visual communication

  • Develop confidence using signs and symbols

  • Support people who communicate differently

  • Provide additional ways to express choices and needs

  • Reduce communication barriers

  • Improve accessibility

  • Develop a more consistent approach across your team

  • Build confidence communicating with a wider range of people

​

Training for a Wide Range of Organisations

I can provide training for organisations including:

  • Community groups

  • Local services

  • Voluntary organisations

  • Leisure and activity organisations

  • Public-facing services

  • Charitable organisations

  • Community support teams

  • Other people-focused organisations

​​

If you are unsure whether Makaton training would be suitable for your organisation, I am happy to discuss your requirements.

​

Training Designed Around Your Needs

Training options can include:

​

Makaton Levels 1–4

Structured Makaton training for teams wishing to develop their skills progressively.

Makaton Workshops

Focused sessions exploring particular aspects of Makaton and communication.

Bespoke Training

​

Practical & Engaging Training

My aim is to help staff move from learning Makaton to using Makaton.

Sessions are practical and interactive, with opportunities to practise and consider how communication strategies can be incorporated into everyday situations.

​
