On the 20 November we celebrated World Children’s Day, the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It’s a global day of action for children, by children.
To celebrate World Children’s Day Fairview pupils made a video. We are so proud of each and every one of them.
The sign system was developed at the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh. It is used to communicate with children who have multiple disabilities as well as being visually impaired.
On body signing helps develop a young person’s natural gesture and, in turn, helps them communicate better with their world around them. Signing also encourages and develops spoken language, giving more meaning to the individual word.
There are universal Canaan Barrie signs but not every child will need every single one of these. Canaan Barrie signs are developed as a relationship between an adult and child grows. Each child’s Canaan Barrie signs are slightly different as they are unique to them.
Sight Scotland is the best place to start-see link below. An illustrated list of signs can be found here: https://shorturl.at/dALP6. You can see videos demonstrating the signs here: https://www.youtube.com/@SightScotland
Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate. It supports the development of essential communication skills such as attention and listening, comprehension, memory, recall and organisation of language and expression.
Being able to communicate is one of the most important skills we need in life. Almost everything we do involves communication; everyday tasks such as learning at school, asking for food and drink, sorting out problems, making friends and having fun. These all rely on our ability to communicate with each other.
