What is Makaton?
Makaton is often known as key word sign and gesture. It is system of communication based on a combination of spoken words, sign language vocabulary (originally adapted from British Sign Language), and graphic symbols.
The idea is to use key word signing to support the communication development of children or adults who are unable to speak, or whose speech is difficult to understand.
Makaton Vocabulary – Auslan Edition
This book introduces the Makaton core vocabulary of over 350 words using Auslan signs. It presents easy to read descriptions and illustrations of many manual signs used in everyday communication.
The vocabulary is graded into 9 stages, which are considered to be most appropriate for the needs of children and adults with communication and language difficulties. For each word, there is a clear line drawing and a brief description how to make the sign.
Individual signs are arranged in suggested stages and written descriptions accompany each sign. An alphabetical index facilitates quick reference.
The book includes regional variations.
70 pages, doubled-sided A4.
