SignHear

SignHear I am an experienced teacher in supporting children, young people and adults. Since qualifying as a Makaton Tutor, my aim is freelance training.

I specialise in supporting language skills for those who have additional learning needs or communication difficulties. I qualified as a Special Education teacher in 1989 and have worked in various posts and settings since then. I taught at a specialist school for children and young people with epilepsy in Surrey for 23 years, where I also trained staff in Signalong communication. Since then I have

worked in a unit specializing in hearing impairment and a unit for rehabilitation after neurosurgery. I moved on to the role of Specialist Teacher for Inclusion, based on supporting children in mainstream schools who struggle with language and learning, as well as behaviour issues.

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be understood and to connect with others. Makaton is more than a communication tool—it opens doors to inclusion, independence, and meaningful relationships.

At SignHear, I am committed to:
* Promoting inclusive communication.
* Building confidence through Makaton.
* Making learning accessible and enjoyable.
* Supporting individuals with speech, language, and communication needs.
* Helping communities become more inclusive and connected.

Sign Every Possibility. Hear Every Voice.
Inclusive Makaton training and taster sessions that build confidence, connection, and communication for everyone.
