Learn Makaton at Derwen College

Do you live or work with children or adults who use Makaton to communicate? Communication is one of the most important skills we need in life, so it is essential that Makaton users can communicate their needs to those who support them each day.

Makaton is a unique communication programme that uses symbols (pictures), signs (gestures) and speech. It supports the development of essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.

The cost to attend each Level is £75 per person, with a discount if you would like to book on to two workshops.
