In this insightful episode of our podcast, host Anna Lempriere from the Cornwall Memory Cafe Network sits down with Saskia Dady, a Makaton tutor and ambassador, to delve into the world of Makaton and its transformative power in communication. Saskia, who has been working with Makaton since 1998, shares her journey from the NHS to becoming a freelance tutor, helping children and adults with communication difficulties through signs and symbols.
The conversation covers Saskia’s extensive experience with Makaton, from supporting children with speech and language challenges to leading community choirs that combine signing and singing. She passionately explains how Makaton can bridge communication gaps, especially in inclusive settings like nurseries, care homes, and community centers. Saskia also discusses her work with the TalkMoreCornwall initiative and the creation of accessible programs like signing workshops for people living with dementia.
Listeners will be inspired by Saskia’s dedication to making communication more accessible for all, and her innovative approach to teaching through music. Whether you're a caregiver, educator, or just curious about Makaton, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. Don't miss out—listen, learn, and share with your community!
