After which I intend to specialise in equine specific first aid. I thought that the course was well structured and the tutor support invaluable, I was impressed by my own achievement as I managed to complete the course in 3 days plus my micro teach around working full time for a disabled horse riding charity and having 2 horses of my own to care for also. My micro teach was on Makaton as I use this during my job on a daily basis and love using it with my clients and students.” Bethan was a very motivated student and a pleasure to take through this qualification. Despite having a full-time job, she still managed to produce work at a very high standard and in record time. She is passionate about her work and this enthusiasm comes through in her writing as well as her teaching. I wish Bethan every success in her teaching career and have no doubt that she will do well. Judith McKeon What is Makaton? “Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help people to communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order. With Makaton, children and adults can communicate straight away using signs and symbols. Many people then drop the signs or symbols naturally at their own pace, as they develop speech. For those who have experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate meaningfully or effectively, Makaton really can help. Makaton takes away that frustration and enables individuals to connect with other people and the world around them.” Extract taken from http://www.makaton.org/aboutMakaton/ Ayo Bamgbose Neil Harvey Dawn Pitts Lucinda Cracknell Denise Heron Melissa Ling Moheed Iqbal Valvilori Nalangkilli Debbie Kirkpatrick Emma Watson Phil Archer Bethan Parker Carl Fraser Colin Dobson Dawn Tripp Ian Williscroft Jo Bonner Jo Mossey Jonathan Padovani Louise Ecclestone Marty Myles Max Fras Michael Jones Michael Pepler Mike Grant Paul Marshall Paula Chalmers Peter Ford Taryn Houlsby Verity Brown William Stewart Assessor Award Assessor Award CTLLS CTLLS DTLLS DTLLS DTLLS DTLLS IQA IQA IQA PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS PTLLS Valvilori Nalangkilli ‘Essentials of Enhancing International Students Learning through Strategic Planning and Guided Support.’ Melissa Ling ‘Stretching and challenging learners’
