The Include Choir sing the Makaton Sign of the Week - Pet 🐕

Include.org is a UK Registered charity, breaking down barriers for people with communication needs. We provide community projects, training and consultancy combining speech and language therapy expertise, music, creativity and fun. All designed to teach better ways of including and empowering people with understanding or speaking difficulties.
·The Include Choir is the musical voice of Include.org.
·The Include Choir uses video as a way of spreading the word about inclusive communication- and sharing the #WeTalkMakaton Sign of the week (which can be great for a giggle). This is a great way to learn skills, as well as enjoying singing and performing together.
· Include.org uses and teaches Makaton as one of many speech and language therapy evidenced communication tools.
· Makaton is a language programme designed to support the understanding and expression of people with communication difficulties. It uses many signs from British Sign Language, but it is not a replacement for BSL which is a language for people who are D/deaf and is a natural, rich, visual language, developed over centuries.
·Anyone can join Include.org. Members include people with and without communication needs. Everyone is valued for their unique contribution.
· Our members help write songs as well as performing. We use music as a tool for inclusion and learning about a range of topics, including the Mental Capacity Act.
· If you can't join us in person in Redhill or Epsom, you can join us online, just email [e-mail] to find out more
· You can support our work at include.org/do...
