What's New at TISS?!
We're proud to announce that Jade Saunders has completed her Makaton Tutor Training and we will be offering Makaton training to schools and settings from September 2024:
Makaton Taster Sessions
These free-to-attend workshops held in terms: one, three and four, will give delegates the foundations of Makaton and how it can be used to enhance communication within your school or setting. The workshops are also a great introduction to Makaton and foundation should you wish to progress to Makaton Level One and Two.
Makaton Level One
The Level One Makaton Workshop is for those who are interested in learning about the first steps of Makaton and those wishing to progress to Level Two in the future.
This workshop will include how to start using Makaton in everyday situations such as: immediate needs, home, familiar people, food, events, activities and objects.
Makaton Level Two
The Level Two workshop will help delegates understand how to apply the Makaton Language Programme and will build on learning achieved at Level One with the inclusion of: people, food, activities, objects and events.
New vocabulary will also be introduced which will be ideal for the school/setting and workplace environments.
Our calendared programme is delivered here at the TISS Centre – schools and settings are welcome to book delegates using the booking procedure detailed below.
