As a charity we provide two tiers of fully accredited Makaton training that parents and professionals are able to access to better understand Makaton and how it supports their child with DS.
- Beginner levels 1-4
- Advanced Levels 5-8
Both these courses are accredited and are delivered by one of our 3 qualified Makaton trainers. The courses are module-based and delegates will need to attend all modules in order to qualify and to receive full accreditation.
PLEASE NOTE: DELEGATES WISHING TO ATTEND THE 5 – 8 MODULES MUST HAVE COMPLETED LEVELS 1-4.
In addition to the above we also offer the following two informal, non-accredited, ‘taster’ sessions both of which are provided free of charge:
- Makaton Christmas signs – an evening session lasting approximately two hours and will teach some wonderfully festive signs and songs
- Makaton taster – this is a 2 hour “in setting” course delivered by one of the charity’s 3 qualified Makaton Trainers. The course will teach approximately 50 signs.
All courses will normally take place in our training room at CDSSG HQ
