In this webinar, Gary Coffey will provide an overview of how Makaton can enrich a total communication environment and ensure that every child is able to communicate in a purposeful way and be included within the provision.

We’ll be focusing on:

• Knowledge of the Makaton Language Programme and how this can be used within an Early Years setting.

• The importance of inclusion for all and the benefits of improved communication for children.

• Awareness of how a total communication environment can be promoted to benefit all children within the setting.
