Supporting Communication

Signalong is committed to empowering children and adults with impaired communication to understand and express their needs, choices and desires by proving vocabulary for life and learning.  Signalong is a vital tool used at Meadow High School to support the language acquisition and development of our EAL and SEN students.

Our key aims and the outcomes for our EAL students mirror those of Signalong: ‘working for understanding and expression of choice’; greater fulfilment of potential; greater independence; reduced frustration; improvement of self-esteem and improved relationships with others.

Please feel free to practise your signing skills using the core signing information on these pages.  If you would like to find out more please feel free to contact:

To support parents we run the Signalong Foundation course and are happy to meet parents individually to support the communication needs to their child.

 

Signalong provides training and resources to assist those with communication difficulties and English as an additional language.  http://www.signalong.org.uk/
