Makaton

Makaton uses signs, symbols and speech to support communication skills.  You can find out more on the Makaton website: https://www.makaton.org/

At Park Way we use a range of Makaton signs to support children’s language development, understanding and communication skills in the school environment.  These signs are primarily introduced in our Early Years classrooms but can be utilised by children across the school.

Here are some of the signs we are using in school:
