Signalong Essential Vocabulary Workshop

Signalong Essential Vocabulary Workshop - £60

This workshop is designed to introduce signing with an emphasis on the practical application of signing.

What is Signalong?

Signalong is a 'key word' sign-supported system used alongside speech. It can be introduced at any age to develop language skills where there are barriers.

The workshop will be led by one of our qualified trainers -

• Jennie Chapman
  Jennie has a wealth of knowledge having worked within Autism Unlimited for 20 years and has been a Signalong tutor for 3 years. Her passion for Signalong comes from her personal experience using Signalong to support her autistic son's communication.
• Sarah Newbery
  Sarah has worked within the charity for 17 years in both our care and education setting. She has a dedication to sharing Signalong with others after seeing first hand the benefits of using Signalong with the young people she has supported.
