Really useful for working in a nursery, which is what I want to do- thank you so much for these videos, please, please keep making them!

[@sophieg79]

Watched your videos to refresh my memory of makaton (it's been a few years since i used it) ahead of an upcoming job interview at an autism school, found them most helpful, thanks :)

[@ruthcrompton2322]

I've been wanting to learn sentences, not just words, and your video is brilliant, thank you.

[@kerrycassidy8300]

This video is brilliant, I started learning makaton 3wks ago with my 3yr old son but didn't know how to put sentences together so this has helped so much x

[@teamnoble9715]

Kerry thanks for the kind comment. I'm glad the videos are of help to you. All the best - TN

[@thehumblevegpatch3990]

Thanks for your videos. I'm currently studying Understanding Autism and only learned about Makaton recently, your explanations have made me feel this is something I could pick up and be very useful in the future.

[@valeriegill2743]

Hi Team noble! I am teaching myself Makaton and am really looking forward to the next video. The sentences are really helpful putting all the words together in context. Thank you :)

[@tattoostea9099]

Thanks for these wonderful videos. Having recently started as a teaching assistant , I’ve picked up the basics but wanted to learn more. I will definitely keep watching your videos x

[@ell1787]

These videos are brilliant they are helping me with my 5 year old grandson. His eyes light up when I try to sign thank you.

[@teamnoble9715]

Fantastic. It's great to hear things like this.

[@RichClarke-i7v]

Hi Team Noble, thank you very much for producing these first 6 excellent videos on learning Makaton. I have just used them with 30 of my new Trainee Nurse Associate students and we all found your style and content superb! This has given us a valuable insight into using basic Makaton with some patients. If you have the time and demand would it please be possible to do a video on common words and phrases used within hospital and other healthcare environments? Thanks again! All the best, Rich at BTC.

[@teamnoble9715]

Very happy that you and your team got a good start with the videos.

[@martindoherty8808]

Absolutely fantastic I'm really enjoying this class .I have a little neighbour across the road he's only 3 so I want to be able to talk to him. He's a lovely little dude. I'm a 61 year old grandfather and ha Comes of to play with my little one's. So I'm going to try my best to learn You are the man to teach me .Thankyou

[@teamnoble9715]

Your welcome. Drop back in to tell us how your getting on.

[@martindoherty8808]

@@teamnoble9715 Thankyou for getting back to me .I've noticed some others who are teaching Makaton are doing some singing differently. It's a bit confusing. There's a little 3 years old boy living over the road from me he can hear but not speak. I want to be able to communicate with him. I know he's now attending a school who teaches Makaton. So we are both beginners. Looking to more of your videos. Thankyou for all your help

[@teamnoble9715]

@@martindoherty8808 my video are exact to the UK Makaton Language System. So you can be reassured. KZbin is a bit of a minefield with regards Makaton and I would be wary of our US counterpart videos as signs differ. All the best with your goals

[@Helen-sound]

I love this . Why I didn’t think to do this during lockdown ???! I am so enjoying learning more signs and conversation from you . Many years ago the family were encouraged to learn Makaton to help my nephew communicate . It was so much help but then it was “ could you now try and get him to speak more instead of signing ? “ . He has Down’s syndrome and the frustration of not being able to be understood when he was very young was alleviated when my sister discovered Makaton and since then I have passed on words I’ve learned to sign to friend’s young children who aren’t at the speaking age yet . So much so that my friend’s son, who is now a teenager , still calls me ‘Helen Fish ‘ as they fondly remembered the fish sign I’d taught him when he was a baby .

[@teamnoble9715]

My son was so frustrated before Makaton. He has many words now but I still love that when he really wants something he breaks out the signs. It really did open doors for us as a family. I'm glad you find the content fun and of use.

[@iwonabucholc7103]

Thank you very much, please more video. I just completly level 2, and i want to be a tutor, i preparing myself for level 3 and 4, and your videos help me a lots of practice. Kind regards

[@naomicleland537]

My son is 5 had autisim isn't speaking at the moment makaton is the most recent communication system that we have started. Im finding it hugely beneficial to pick up basic signs

[@donnaliang1412]

Hi Craig, thank you for making these videos. They have been so helpful. Are you considering going further with your videos?

[@skullsandroseschat4442]

Where can I find more videos, this is absolutely fantastic. You’ve made it so much easier to learn. Are there anymore KZbin’s or are you 0:00 on TikTok with more material to learn? I work in A&E and would love to communicate with people who need signing when they come in

[@teamnoble9715]

Unfortunately I only created these few starter videos.

I'm late to the boat with your videos, if you are doing more I'd love to learn signs for park and playing games and such. I have very basic makaton knowledge (anything that has stuck from mr tumble really) and I'm trying to find a way to communicate with my non verbal asd child.

[@MySksm]

Thank you Team Noble. Your video was helpful and inspiring. I'm looking forward to learning Makaton. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, very much appreciated. :)

Brilliant thanks

[@carolhope2158]

I have just subscribed to your channel i am ready to learn, I work with special needs children who use sign language I would love to try and have a conversation with them 😀

[@teamnoble9715]

Welcome to Team NOBLE. Thank you for your subscription. Be sure to check out all the videos and any help please don't hesitate to comment. The big tip is to talk slowly and clearly and use what signs with a sentence that 1) you can sign and 2) the other person can understand. You will be convetsating in no time at all.

[@kirsty1929]

Hi would you consider uploading some videos modelling simple sentences for carers covering the scenarios we may face? (e.g. “Here is your medication”, “I’ll call the doctor”, “How are you feeling?” “What would you like to wear today?” “Do you need to use the toilet?” Etc)

[@cuztardo1966]

What is the sign for Dragonflies pls.

[@teamnoble9715]

Unfortunately I don't know that sign. O will look it up and maybe feature it in a Makaton topic video on the garden. You could always use the sign for a fly and use that. Remember that Makaton is in addition to talk and not a replacement.

Curl your hand into a ball. Put it under your chin and point your pointing finger out twice.

thank you! this helped a LOT!

[@rooty]

Is it all context based then? It's very strange to me that there's no difference between "here is your sister's drink of milk" and "here your sister is drinking milk", among other possible meanings. Seems you can (or have to) miss out a lot of verbs, prepositions, articles, etc when making sentences in Makaton. Is this part of the function of Makaton to simplify language?

[@teamnoble9715]

Makaton does not replace words. It is used while speaking. Picking out the useful words from a sentence. Its major use is with people that are none verbal or have limited verbal ability. Simplicity is key. But it has to be used with words. It is a complimentary language system.

[@rooty]

​@@teamnoble9715Oh now I get it. To what extent are Makaton signs based on BSL? There's a lot more resources out there for BSL. Could I learn words in BSL to use in Makaton, or are there too many differences? (I can't find any books on Makaton, but there are some on BSL for special needs children)

[@teamnoble9715]

@@rooty there are some common signs but makaton is a language system all of its own. I have a video on signs in BSL which may be helpful to you.

while i get these simple sentences - the whole point is for children - some of these sentences like cleaning the car - i wont use with my 5 month old baby-

[@teamnoble9715]

Makaton is a language system for people of any age.

[@bekindbehumankind8429]

Today I have been told by a person that that ‘More’ sign is a swear word

[@bekindbehumankind8429]

However, we are doing it right as I found out straight from one of a Makaton Charity Video. It is not a swear word. Swear word has two parts.
