This is an online course that will take place over six weeks from Tuesday 7 January 2025 until Tuesday 11 February 2025 10 am - 11 am.
Although the course is called ‘Makaton Signing for Babies and Families’ it can be suitable for children of up to roughly seven years old (developmentally) as the course contains all the signs needed for early communication.
The course is run by Virginia Bourne and consists of six, one hour interactive sessions designed to encourage the development of communication and language skills. Topics include: Saying hello, eating and drinking, developing skills, going out, family, animals and using Makaton in play. You will also learn signing hints and tips for effective communication.
The course costs £55 which includes a pocket book with all the signs and symbols taught. If you are local to the Vale of Glamorgan and are able to collect your pocket book prior to the start of the course and your certificate at the end, the course will be £50.
