MAKATON FRIENDLY ORGANISATION
OKMT is pleased to announce that it is now a Makaton Friendly Organisation! Over the past two years, our core team of therapists and staff have completed training in Makaton Levels 1-4, through The Makaton Charity. Our wonderful tutor Miguel taught us signs and symbols from the standard syllabus, and also kindly included musical phrases and words that our teachers and therapists can use in music lessons and workshops!
Being a Makaton Friendly Organisation means we provide places which:
– Empower individuals to make choices and express themselves confidently.
– Provide tools like signs, symbols, and trained staff to enable effective communication.
– Build trust and reduces anxiety through consistent support and welcoming environments.
– Demonstrate a commitment to inclusion and accessibility for all clients.
