I am a freelance Makaton Tutor based in Hampshire UK delivering Makaton Workshops
for organisations and individuals.
 

I first became involved with Makaton in 1997 when my daughter was born. Using skills I learned during my time as a trainer in a large high street bank I qualified as a Makaton Regional Tutor in 2002. I have since gained a CertEd (PCET) from the University of Portsmouth.

I use Makaton daily at the KIDS Family Centre in Fareham Hampshire, where I work in the Nursery. I completed the Foundation Degree in Early Years Care and Education in July 2011.

I am licensed by the Makaton Charity to deliver all the Makaton workshops. Courses are modular and designed to be flexible so that they can be easily tailored to suit the individual needs of client groups. See Workshops tab for further details of the different training courses.

I am passionate about   enhancing communication    and bringing Makaton to parents, carers, practitioners and children. The training I deliver is brought to life by my personal experiences with my daughter and the children at the setting where I work.

All Makaton Tutors who deliver Makaton training are licensed by the Makaton Charity. Licences are issued annually and are subject to attendance at annual Study Days arranged by the charity.
Therefore you can be sure that my own skills and knowledge of all things Makaton are up to date.
