I work with a disability support group in Australia. Some of the guys have a sign/singing group once a week. They all love your songs, and think you are awesome.
Francis and I work together with the signing group and he mentioned you had responded! I thought I would take the chance to reach out and say how incredible everyone here finds you and your videos, we would love to see you do circle of life or man out of you from Mulan! Sending our happy thoughts to you and your beautiful family :)
+Bekki Windsor Learning and Lifestyle Thank you so much! I love both of those songs and will get round to doing them both (although the intro in circle of life will certainly be a challenge!)
+Melodysigns I've only just started so it's hard to tell but I think I'm picking it up well. I used to speak with it as a child as I had a bad speech impediment so little bits are coming back to me as I learn :) are there any online resources you could suggest please? (Bar your videos which I love :))
+Lizzie 〈3 makaton.org is obviously the best place to go, but the site also has 'makachat' which is a forum where you can ask about signs you're particularly struggling to learn. I definitely recommend their website. good luck :)
Melody I work with special needs Adults and a client whom is special needs done something which I am not sure if it is Makaton or BSL or just something she just done or a swear word ? she used her right hand and her index finger and third finger both together (and the rest closed tight )moving away from the right eyebrow moving away from the face in a sort of salute fashion! I cannot ask her as she has very little communication and was wondering if it was signing in Makaton?and as I don't sign I am at a loss I don't think it was a swear word ...Lol but would love to find out whether it was signing?and if so what she was saying or the word? I love the video of you signing to let it go fantastic. more please ! Theme song to Titanic maybe? thank you in anticipation
It sounds like she is signing 'name'. If you look at my most recent video ruclips.net/video/9MPhKoLZibw/видео.html the children sign 'Hallowed be thy name' in the second song. Does the sign seem similar?
Melody ,Thank you so much for solving that Mystery Yes she was signing "name" although she already Knows my name but that is special needs !. I looked at the adult signing at the back and sure enough she signed the same sign as this individual signed (sorry I Cannot name her as It is the ruling of confidentiality) I thought it may have been Makaton! but once again Thank you for your Help and please keep the songs and signing coming! it is helping me too to learn Makaton easier .
I did this in primary school!!!!! We practiced it every lunchtime for ages. I'd forgotten how much I love it!!!!! Great job

Wow, you are amazing!!! I couldn't stop smiling. I'm just learning for a child at my school :)
How long have you been learning?
Wow that's fantastic I wish I could do that
I really enjoyed this video, i'm currently trying to learn makaton and this is such a fun way to do it!
Are you finding it easy or difficult to learn makaton?

ive been looking for a makaton video for this song, you were fantastic, we use makaton with my youngest son and learnt alot but not as good as you
+Becky M Lane Thank you :) Once you learn all the signs by heart its similar to a simple dance routine - that's how I like to think of it anyway!
your so clever and amazing, well done
Thank you :)
This video is amazing :)
