Storrington and Sullington Neighbourhood Wardens, Chris and John, recently completed their level 1 Makaton training. Makaton is a language programme that combines speech, signs and symbols to give options for people to communicate.
On completing the training, Chris commented:
The basic skills we have learnt have given us the confidence to sign and talk to everyone that has difficulty communicating. This will be a great help for the work we currently do with children with SEN and Autism.
John added:
A big thank you to Emily Folan, our Tutor from Makaton, for making the course enjoyable.
