The Sheffield Parent Carer Forum offers free training for parents of children with disabilities and special educational needs. We're planning to run a series of workshops on speech and language therapy in in June and July, this will include an introduction to Makaton, as well as workshops on PECS, technology-aided communication, language strategies, cued articulation, and visual supports. All sessions will be run by speech and language therapists and we hope to bring along lots of photocopies, books and DVDs, either for parents to keep or on loan.

The Makaton workshop will probably take place on Friday 11th of July, 10-12.

If you'd like us to send you more information once the dates have been confirmed, please register your interest by emailing enquiries@sheffieldparentcarerforum.org.uk.

Sorry but thats priceless! Just the 'thunk yooo' bit Gosh I hate Mr Tumble!

 

I hate Mr Tumble but that is after seeing it for about 19 time on the trot.

 

My 18 month old son loves it and has even started doing some of the signs when he is watching it I did baby signing with my daughter and I am sad to say we did it for a while but not all the time so it didn't stick however she is now 4 and they do it at nursery and I think she knows more than she lets on. She won't admit to watching Mr Tumble but does the signs before he does sometimes.
