The Signing Spot
The Signing Spot is a Makaton support centre, an inclusive space designed for individuals and families who use Makaton as their main form of communication. The centre features playful learning zones, classrooms, as well as interactive spaces, encouraging interaction between children of all abilities in a non-stimulating environment that promotes confidence, and inclusion, while also offering a place for families to feel supported, valued and truly welcomed.
