Croydon Family Hubs Makaton Training with Keep Signing

Katie from Keep Singing will deliver the Makaton Training on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 February from 9:30am to 12:30pm at Croydon Town Hall. This is a two-part training, with each session lasting half a day. Families will need to attend both morning sessions in order to receive their certificate.

Level 1 training provides a practical introduction to the Makaton Language Programme. Sessions include discussing commonly asked questions, hints and tips for effective signing and symbol use and how to start using Makaton in everyday situations at home or work. You will also learn the signs and symbols from Stages 1 and 2 (145 concepts) which is everyday, functional communicative words.

You will receive a Participant's Manual which includes the Makaton symbols and line drawings of the signs that you learn in the workshop.

You will also be given a certificate of attendance. Please remember to keep your Level 1 training certificate in case you want to attend further Makaton training.
