Makaton Signing for Babies and Families (MSBF) is for parents, family members or carers who would like to sign with babies and children in their care and have no previous experience of Makaton. These sessions are designed for you and your little one to have fun and learn together. This course is taught by a licensed Makaton Trainer.
Makaton is a communication system that uses speaking, signing and symbols. Before children speak they use gestures, pointing and facial expressions to communicate with us. Makaton helps to develop those natural skills.
The course is a fun and easy way to learn to sign with your little one. Signing while speaking has been shown to encourage the development of communication and language skills. It can help reduce frustrations and help you to understand your baby’s needs and wants.
Makaton Signing for Babies is provided as a series of sessions for you and your baby. Together you will learn up to 100 signs and have fun practising them in songs, games and activities.
You will be provided with a copy of the ‘Makaton Signing for Babies Pocket Book of Signs and Symbols’ at the second session.
By the end of the course, you will have learned:
A range of strategies and activities for supporting your baby/child/ren with fun and interactive learning incorporating it into everyday routines. On successful completion you will be presented with a certificate and a 30 day free access to the Makaton Charity website.
