Teach your child to communicate their needs using signs and symbols from Makaton and BSL as used in Something Special and Magic Hands.
What are speech, language and communication needs and who is affected?
Action on Hearing Loss (formerly RNID) estimates there are 45,000 deaf children in the UK, with many more experiencing temporary hearing loss due conditions such as glue ear. Learning Makaton and/or British Sign Language can help children with special communication and language needs to express themselves and communicate with others.
