Makaton Speaking Carers

As we navigate the complexities of life, there's a universal constant that connects us all—communication. Hanging on the balance of this need for communication are those who require specialised attention, particularly loved ones with limited speech abilities. Here, communication becomes more than a desire—it's paramount. This is where PrimeCarers, a UK-wide introductory service that vets and recommends proficient carers, steps in.

An extensive network of highly skilled caregivers, all DBS and ID Checked with a Right to Work self-employed in the UK, forms the backbone of PrimeCarers. Among the specialities of our compassionate caregivers is speaking Makaton, a communication skill that unravels numerous benefits for those under their care.

What is Makaton?

Makaton is a unique language programme that employs a combination of speech, signs, and graphic symbols to aid communication. It's often used as a communication process for those who can't communicate efficiently using speech.

Far from a mere signing system, Makaton is a fully-fledged expressive and receptive communication aid. Since it’s based on the natural progression of communication development in children, it starts with signs (gestures) and symbols (pictures) and eventually introduces speech.

Why a Makaton Speaking Carer?

The core of care is understanding—reflecting on the needs, personalities, and unique challenges faced by those we look after. This connection fuels PrimeCarers' insistence on specialised caregivers, such as our Makaton speaking carers. They bring numerous benefits to the table.

Enhanced Communication

Nothing equates to the comfort of being understood, especially when vocabulary fails us. Using a mix of speech and non-verbal communication, Makaton-speaking carers facilitate an enriched communication environment for those with speech impairments, learning and cognitive disabilities.

Building Relationships

Trust fosters in relationships that are founded on clear communication. A Makaton speaking carer plays a pivotal role in building this bond with their charge, as the ability to understand and be understood forms a strong relationship.

Encourage Independence

By bridging the communication gap, Makaton speaking carers empower those in their care to express their wants, needs, and thoughts. In doing so, it elevates their self-esteem and sense of independence.

Cultivate Learning

Expressing ourselves is one way we learn and grow. For several individuals under care, growth is impeded by speech or cognitive limitations. Makaton-speaking carers help to circumvent these challenges by fostering a nourishing environment conducive to learning.
