The team at CureDM Charity is delighted to launch FREE online Makaton sessions for the UK DM community, made possible by your generous support and donations.
Sessions will run on Zoom every other Wednesday, from 4.45pm to 5.45pm and will be led by Rachel Downs, a certified Makaton teacher.
Upcoming dates for the rest of the year are:
30th September
14th & 21st October
4th & 18th November
2nd & 16th December
Some of you may remember Rachel from our CureDM DEEP evening a couple of years ago, where she led Starlight Arts in a beautiful and moving Makaton performance. We’re thrilled she’s agreed to work with us, and we can’t wait to learn together.
Makaton is widely used to support communication for children and adults with communication or learning difficulties, as well as the people and organisations around them (including teachers, health professionals, friends, family, and public services). It can help people take a more active part in everyday life, and we’re pleased to offer it to our DM community.
The meeting is for all ages, and as the group develops, and needs are identified, we can look to offer more specific sessions. To kick us off the first few sessions will incorporate basic signing, fun activities, and working towards a group song..
