The Makaton Charity

Makaton is a language programme that gives everyone a helping hand to talk.

Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help people to communicate. Our vision is a world with no communication barriers to inclusion or achievement. We aim to ensure that everyone living with learning or communication difficulties has the tools and resources they need to communicate. 

Our activities include:

  • providing high-quality training to families, carers, and professionals
  • developing and producing printed and electronic resources
  • providing expert guidance, advice and support for families and professionals
  • influencing society and empowering people to break down barriers to communication
