Welcome

My name is Kay Evans. I am a Makaton Tutor and Special Needs teacher with 35 years of experience. I offer both face-to-face and online Makaton Training. I can work with schools and nurseries to boost communication skills through Makaton-based sessions. I provide communication advice, support and training.

What is Makaton?

Makaton is a language programme that uses signs and symbols to help people communicate. It’s designed to support spoken language: the signs are used alongside speech, in the same order as spoken words. Makaton signs are based on the signs used in British Sign Language (BSL). â€‹

“Makaton training has been an important piece of work by both the foundation and the mascot team and one we are immensely proud of. Thanks to The Makaton Charity, we can now ensure that all of Liverpool Football Club Foundation's Kicks Inclusion sessions, SEN, Mental Health sessions and Mighty Red mascot appearances are inclusive to all of those who require the use of Makaton to aid communication.”
