Virtual BIAZA Conservation Education Conference 2021
Introducing Makaton
Recording coming soon...
Introducing Makaton into your collection
Makaton is a unique language programme. Today over 100,000 children and adults use Makaton symbols and signs, either as their main method of communication or as a way to support speech.
What can BIAZA members do to introduce Makaton into their daily operations? Who would be your best candidates to attend the training? Where do we go from here? Please join the presentation and let's discuss this important step that will help us reach the next level of inclusivity.
