This training has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Early Years Team, for the attention of any practitioner working within the EYFS and year 1 in primary schools, wraparound childcare and HAF providers, childminders and assistants.
In Slough we have significant numbers of children that have SLCN and we understand the importance of a Total Communication approach
We have had requests for more Makaton training which we are subsiding to maximise the number of practitioners in Slough to be trained
You will receive the manuals and training for FREE.
The training is over 4 sessions online, and you MUST attend all 4 to complete the training
This training is facilitated by a registered Makaton teacher
