feeling bit blue

[Phoenix4725]

Just picked ds up from nursery and they aasked me wt he been asking for , he was signing mummy yetnone even knew the sign((
he just wanted acuddle

Just madem e realise how hard it could be for him in ms school this year, hes becoming more and more isolted won`t maake eye contact with the other children, yet at home with his sibblings he signs away and interacts happily ,were up to 3 dozensign and growing

I can see your problem - It does seem that a Makaton enriched environment is what he needs at this stage. Is there any school near you that could offer this ?

Oh bless him

Simple Makaton should be so easy for the staff to learn. I hope they want to...

not preschol, one sn school option tht uses pecs/makton but think be fighting lea,

yeh they would do i have taught them signs he uses but hes thefirst child to go that signs ,sadlythere is no makton courses being run here , i would like to do the next stage butcan not find ,.

He just looked so sad with no friends s no other kids sign

can the nursery do some sing and sign songs the children can learn a few.

my little one is at pre-school, and i am increasingly getting worried, the nursery say 'he is happy playing by himself, but he is getting more anxious when he goes, and is happy and communicates well at home.

Oh that must have been so sad for you.

Could the SALT dept not send the nursery some makaton signs information that they could refer to when your DS signs? I know DS1's SALT has given his preschool Makaton stuff (not for DS1 but just for their general use).
