Just found your videos and they're really helping me learn Makaton to help me communicate with the children in the nursery I work in. Amazing job, thank you so much!
Keep on doing what you do,this is going to help me so much as i would like to learn it with my grandchildren,so they too will be able to communicate with whoevers path they may cross in life,and for them not to feel awkward in any situation not knowing how to communicate with any child or adult they meet...Thank You 🏴
Wonderful to have you back. The knowledge I've gained from these videos has unit only helped me personally, but also in my job as Designated Safeguarding Lead to be able to hear the views and stories of all children to ensure they get the support the y need. Keep up the good work, and Stay safe.
Thank you for sharing and supporting people to communicate more easily with each other! This has been invaluable for the children in my class and we have embedded it across an entire school for all children! Keep providing content please!
You’re a true star and yes this is hugely helpful in my work as a teacher and also in circus/ entertainment I do . Thank you for your authenticity and your channel is great
Hi, After trying learn some sign language over the last year following my wife's (overnight) sudden hearing loss, Just stumbled across your channel. Its complementing what we have already learned and will help greatly with day to day conversation, Just what we needed. Thanks, ( Couple in our mid 50's)
Thanks for this video. I am finding them very useful and working on them through half term hols. This has definitely helped me become more confident and extended my knowledge.
I made the videos for self reference and to allow the family to learn some sign to help communicate with my son. I didn't realise the Stage 1 video had as many views and that there was clearly a need to do more to help others. So Stages 1, 2 and 3 are available. I hope they help. They helped e and my family a lot. Thank you for the kind words.
Hi I like these Makaton vidieos they have helped me when I need to communicate with the non verbal children that I have worked with. I hope that there will be many more vidieos to come as I really do enjoy them and want to continue to improve my Makaton skills.
Thanks so much for your videos, very clear and concise. I'm teaching in a SEN school and learning Makaton, these have been a real find! Really helpful to revise and learn new signs. Brilliant!
Thanks- I am a Teacher of the Deaf but lots of the pupils I support have additional needs/ attend special schools so use Makaton which has some similarities but also some differences to BSL vocabulary. Your videos are very useful as they have meant I don’t need to spend money on a course which, as an already fluent signer, I don’t really need!
The courses I did were excellent. I can't recommend them enough. I had a great teacher. I'm so glad my videos help you all. This is exactly what I wanted. I know how much it help our family to have a complimentary avenue of communication.
Wow just about to start a new job with adults with learning disabilities...and this has been fantastic. Thank you so much. You have a very endearing calm manner. Watched stage 1 and two as well as this. Thank you and good luck in life. X
Hi there thank you for the stages you have done so far... I am a teacher that wants to find an alternative way to communicate with my students and these Mankaton signs are helping 😊
Thankyou. I work with mental health and learning disabilities have a few makaton uses and im trying to learn to speak better to them. Your viedo has helped me realise what some of there gestures mean now. Keep safe and well.
Thank you so much for your videos because of you I have got my first makaton lesson in January and I can’t wait thank you please keep it doing the videos x
I'm finding your videos extremely useful in between online training sessions. They help to refresh my memory so I don't look like a complete duffer every week! Thanks!
Never worry about looking daft. Everyone is learning. Remember making a mistake is just like saying something wrong you can always correct yourself. Your welcome. And thank you for watching
Really finding your videos helpful to remind myself of signs I learnt when my ASD son was young. Now I work in a pre-school, it is a brilliant tool to have to help those children with communication difficulties. And my goodness you have a relaxing voice, I think I could drift of to a lovely peaceful sleep listening to you if I wanted to! 😂
This is amazingly helpful, I started working in a special needs school at the beginning of march and because of covid, I haven't had the makaton training yet, finally having it tomorrow. But this has been helpful in refreshing my brain! It turns out I remember some previously learnt stuff . Thank you:)
I'm not a Makaton teacher. You will find the workshop amazing I've done 4 workshops and nothing beats well coordinated learning taught by professional tutors
Hello, thank you for these videos. My son is 2.5 years and non verbal. We started teaching him a few signs a while back, but as his words are not comming we need to have a real push to teach him more signs. These videos are going to be a real help. 😁
Your welcome. Please drop back in to let us know how he progresses. As you might have gathered from what I say in my videos I have a son. He is now 7 and thankfully now has words along with his signs. All the best - Craig
Thanks very much, great signing to increase my Makaton vocabulary. Please continue making these videos, the sentences one is very useful. If you could just increase the volume when making new ones that would be great to aide those with poor hearing too. Be safe & take care. :-)
This is really useful thank you! I’m a circus student at the moment and I am hoping to at some point start to lead a few classes in different activities and makaton will really help you widen my audience members and it could help for children or adults makaton users want to learn a new skill (circus) I was wondering if you might do a zoom class with me? I do enjoy your videos and I’d like to attempt putting things into sentences.
Just found ur videos my husband needs to learn makaton as due to an assault he cannot speak and is finding life difficult I'm hoping he will try now seeing signing from a young guy x
Thanks for the input Choni. All videos recorded after this are recorded with an external microphone so this will be the standard going forward. Check out the rerecording of video 1 in the series for an example of the audio difference.
Just refreshing my makaton knowledge so great videos but struggle to hear you as I myself are hard of hearing would be great if you increase your volume on any new videos 👍
Hello Wendy, Thank for the comment. You will be glad to know from the next video in the course I started to you a microphone and you should have no issues hearing me hopefully. Thank for your views. I hope the content is helping you get back to your goals TN
