• Considered how to define good mental health
• Discussed the crucial elements of good mental health
• Explored ways to support children’s mental health and develop their resilience

Makaton Foundation Training

 

Wednesday 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th March 9.30am – 1pm at The BAND Office.

Being able to communicate is one of the most important skills we need in life. Almost everything we do involves communication; everyday tasks such as learning at school, asking for food and drink, sorting out problems, making friends and having fun. These all rely on our ability to communicate with each other.
Makaton is a language program using signs and symbols to help people to communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order. With Makaton, children and adults can communicate straight away using signs and symbols.
The objectives of this course are:

To provide certificated training in the practical use of Makaton for Stages 1-4, with additional vocabulary for people working with children who have learning difficulties. The aim is to provide communication opportunities for all.
