Know and Grow Makaton training

Learn a new skill this year...

Makaton is a communication programme using symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. Many churches use Makaton to support people with learning disabilities to be able to access worship and teaching. It is also widely used to communicate with children before they can speak.

We've had fantastic Know and Grow Makaton training days in Cardiff and Gosport in previous years. And now the training is available online! Everyone had great fun at the sessions and learned well over 100 Makaton signs, including Christian vocabulary and Makaton for everyday use.

Know and Grow Makaton gives you life skills to communicate with pre-verbal and non-verbal members of the community, as well as being a great way to get everyone moving in church, signing along with songs. The training is run by the learning disability charity Count Everyone In, who developed this course with the Makaton Charity.

Other Know and Grow Makaton courses are taking place around the UK in-person, and now also online, run by Count Everyone In. For details, costs and booking for Know and Grow Makaton events, follow this link.

Why not learn a new skill and communicate the love of Jesus in Makaton?
