Make it mandatory for makaton to be taught to children in schools

Petition Details

Put in place the tools for children of all ages to learn makaton as a form of communication. So all children and adults with disabilities can be included. If everyone is taught makaton in school they can carry the tools with them for generations and become more inclusive.

Additional Information

If children learn makaton from a young age and carry on learning they will have the tools to be able to communicate with a wider community. Children with certain disabilities learn makaton as a form of speech and communication, and it would be amazing if they were understood by there peers and generations to come.
