Amazing thing happened Saturday. My friend and I came across a lost child in London. We stopped to help and realised she had Down Syndrome and used Makaton to communicate. Thankfully I was able to sign with her and with help from the police she was reunited with her family. Wow!

I wish they’d do documentaries following AHPs in the NHS. I love watching shows like 24 Hours and Saving Our Nurses, but it’d be so wonderful for people to see AHPs in their roles. It might even open their eyes to job opportunities they didn’t know were out there!

Hello #Paediatric #OccupationalTherapist wherever you are 🤗 I am looking for some advice on how you structure your therapy sessions. Do you sing songs at the beginning and end? Do you have any advice for me as I transition into Paediatric services. Thank you #OT #therapy

I believe everyone should be able to communicate their needs, wants, preferences and choices. Makaton can really help people do that. Follow @MakatonCharity for more information and access to courses ☺️

[CommuniKate @CommuniKate_ot]

🌟Sign(s) of today are ‘Need’ / ‘Want’ and ‘Help’ 🌟
