Families and siblings welcome

Our next AAC Communication Club will take place on Thursday 11th May at 6:30pm.

Love and families are the theme for this week.

We are going to look at the story “93 in my family” and  then will play a game, make a card for a family member and finish off with some chart writing.

We hope you can come along for a fun evening.

The wonderful Singing Hands duo are in the process of making some new material for older students.  A great idea for
birthday or Christmas gifts.

All our staff and pupils love watching the duo in action and love to see new songs when they appear.I’m writing about a Singing Hands Pledge Campaign that we have launched to create a fresh
and contemporary album and DVD of popular songs for older children/teenagers and adults who use MAKATON.

Tracy and I are well known for the workshops we offer and the
Early Years/schools resources that we created.  But we now want
to create a DVD and CD album featuring popular hit songs based
on the theme of friendship and happiness for older
children who are transitioning away from nursery rhymes, young people & adults.  We are making this DVD is association with the Makaton Charity and we will be raising funds for them via royalities, plus there is also a fund-raising element as part of our pledge – 5% of the proceeds will be donated to the Down’s Syndrome Association.

The songs feature fantastic vocabulary with relevant concepts, great melodies and interesting new signs and will appeal to ALL
your students/clients (and the parents/carers will LOVE the
new songs too!!).  The songs will provide a refreshing new
repetoire to engage and motivate their children and develop
their communication in new ways.  The music will be
re-arranged in tempos and keys that are accessible for the
majority of people to join in – we will not be lip-syncing to
the original material.  The resources will be available as
physical products or can be downloaded on iPads/tablets.
Perhaps those of you working in schools could include this information in your school newsletter / Parentmail?

BUT……..(there’s always a but!) we are crowd-funding in order
to make this resource – the families/practitioners won’t be
donating to us, they will simply need to pre-order the item (or book one of the Pledge Experiences) to support us.  We only have until Midnight on June 17th to hit our target or this will not get made.  Please help and pre-order yourselves too TODAY!
