More Makaton...
I was asked if I knew of any videos that taught Makaton but were aimed at adults. So I had a hunt around and for those of you who prefer a quieter, dare I say, more sensible, method of learning, I have found the lovely people below. If you like their style, follow the link and click on their page to see their full catalogue. You can subscribe to their channel if you'd like.

Lightyear Foundation
"We like to share these videos to promote the use of Makaton and the enjoyment and communication benefits it brings. We primarily created these videos to share amongst our teachers and facilitators for their personal development and enjoyment. However we are not, nor do we claim to be, a training service as we are not Makaton tutors"
