Makaton

David

How useful is Makaton as a communication system for people with autism?

Does it's importance reduce with age or do adults still use It much?

  • Greetings. For what it is worth, I really like this idea, the whole "Makaton" thing. 

    It is unfortunate that it is not more well known, and is done away with in favour of speaking. There would be a lot less 'screaming babies upon the bus' if their "carers" taught them Signs from the very start. Also, if anyone looks below, in the "related" section, there are few Makaton Threads, and they are very short - too short. There is more information upon the general Internet, fortunately. In any case, Good Luck with what you do, Mr. David.
