Let's talk Makaton!

Makaton is embedded into our routines at The Barn and is beneficial to all children in developing social interaction and building listening and attention skills.

When signing, do remember to:

• Always say the words at the same time as signing

• Make signing fun and use facial expressions

• And don't worry about whether you are doing it right!
