Both Touch My World performing arts and Sign my world offer school/college sessions and performances. We will come to you. 

In mainstream settings, Sign my World  Makaton-signed sessions are a fantastic way to encourage all the children in your school to develop their Makaton signing skills. By joining in with a Sign my World session, we also hope to inspire your staff members who have already completed their Makaton training on how to refresh and apply their signing knowledge and how to reinvigorate their approach to delivering  positivie communication  with the children and young adults at your setting. We also hope to encourage non-signing staff to see how easy it is to apply through songs so that they feel motivated to attend their Makaton training as soon as they can. 

By adopting a Makaton-based approach in your setting, you can help encourage communication between children with SEN/EAL and their peers by fostering an inclusive approach to language – signing with all the children will help you achieve this. Over and again we have seen how much the children without additional needs have loved learning how to sign as well – and what better way to break down communication barriers can there be?

We have a vast repertoire of songs ranging from nursery rhymes through to pop songs & show tunes – so we can provide sessions for all your learners from early years through to college.   In SEN settings we can also adapt to bring additional sensory props to suit the needs of the learners involved in each group. Our multi-sensory approach is the perfect vehicle for learners of all abilities to practise their signing and enjoy making music together.
