Makaton Nursery Rhymes [VHS]

Product Information

One way to support children who have this is to create a picture schedule made up of Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) cards. so that the non-verbal child knows what time of day it is and what activity they should be taking part in at a specific time.

I hadn’t realised how important Makaton was. This wasn’t just a few gestures to get a point across, this was an entire programme designed to help people to communicate, to understand, to learn and to make their lives, and the lives of those around them, so much easier.

We’d introduce Ellie’s signs to other foster children so they could communicate with her, some even found it helpful for themselves. We had Dave Benson-Philips’ Makaton Nursery Rhymes on VHS and saw Mr Tumble on TV, but I thought that was simply people doing actions to songs, just like we’d do at school.

I’ve spent years struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy and more, things that make getting out of bed in the morning very difficult. Making these Makaton videos was building my motivation, concentration and stamina. I started receiving messages from people saying they enjoyed my videos, where could they find out more about Makaton? I realised there were people who lived nearby, and all over the country, who would benefit from Makaton but didn’t know about it. My Melodysigns videos were helping them discover it.Makaton Nursery Rhymes - Presented by Dave Benson Phillips (1991, Vision Video Ltd. - VHSrip)_001194.jpg Makaton Nursery Rhymes - Presented by Dave Benson Phillips (1991, Vision Video Ltd. - VHSrip)_001434.jpg Makaton Nursery Rhymes - Presented by Dave Benson Phillips (1991, Vision Video Ltd. - VHSrip)_001374.jpg Makaton Nursery Rhymes - Presented by Dave Benson Phillips (1991, Vision Video Ltd. - VHSrip)_002214.jpg

I was 9 years old when a new foster child joined our family. Ellie couldn’t speak, she used hand gestures to communicate. Apparently, she was using Makaton, but I didn’t understand what that meant.
