相信我之前有提过说，宇泽托儿所的老师有教孩子们“手语”。
其实并不是什么“手语”，也不是一种语言，
是叫makaton，是辅助孩子交流的一种方式，
Makaton对于孩子的发音和交流，
大脑发育，手眼协调能力等都有帮助哦~
这种交流方式似乎在亚洲都不怎么流行，在西方国家就比较普遍，
上网search了一些关于makaton的资料，
就顺便拿出来让大家分享下~
**不好意思，我找不到中文的资料，都是英文的
********************************
Things you should know with Makaton
Talkingdoes not just involve speaking. Watch someone talking, they will notjust be saying words but they will also be using hand movements orgestures, facial expression, eye contact and body language (posture andmovement). All this is communication. Makaton uses speech and gesture,facial expression, eye contact and body language. It is a languageprogramme which is based on a selected list of everyday words, such as Daddy , Door , Fall and In . Makaton uses speech together with a sign (gesture) and/ or a symbol (picture), for example:
| 
| 
| 
| 
| | sleep | sleep | where? | where?
|
Why use Makaton?
Signsand symbols give extra information which can be seen. Research hasshown that signs/ gestures are easier to learn than spoken words. Thismakes sense. Babies use gestures before they can speak, to tell us whatthey want, for example pointing at the biscuit tin/ cookie jar orholding out arms to be lifted up. Makatoncan help if a child has difficulties with understanding and speaking.Through Makaton, the child is able to develop important communicationskills.
（makaton可以帮助沟通能力不好的孩子在表达和理解方面上有所提升，孩子因此可以理解到沟通的重要性）
Ifa child has to rely on speech development alone, these vital skills maynot develop properly: eye contact, turn taking, making choices,understanding, and sharing information.
（如果孩子纯粹依赖语言上的发展，就或许会忽略了一些很重要的技巧，例如：眼神接触，轮流，选择，理解和分享）
Children who have difficultyunderstanding and speaking often become frustrated or withdrawn. Theymay communicate this through behaviours such as screaming and kickingwhich are unpleasant for the child and for us. By using Makaton, we arehelping the child to communicate in a more acceptable way. （理解和表达能力不佳的孩子经常会觉得暴躁和被忽略，因此而通过喊叫和踢人来表达和发泄，这些举止对大人和孩子都不好。通过Makaton孩子就可以用比较恰当的方式来跟别人沟通了）
Will Makaton stop my child from speaking?
Experienceand research indicate that using gestures/ signs promotes andstimulates speech development. It is very important that you use speechtogether with signs and symbols.（研究显示利用身体语言可以刺激语言发展，然而，有一点很重要的就是说话的时候比需要和“手语”同时进行）
Who need to use Makaton?
Childrenlearn to speak by listening to other people speaking. If your child isgoing to use signs/ symbols to help them communicate, your child willneed to see you and other people using them as well. Everyone needs tobe involved and will usually be happy to help.
What will other people think?
Youmay feel strange using Makaton at first and you may think that peopleare looking at you, but with practice it soon becomes more natural andyou know it is helping your child.
How many signs/symbols do you start with?
Itis important that only a few signs/ symbols are used at the beginning.These will be the most important ones for the child. They will bechosen by the people who know the child best. As the child learns, morewords will need to be introduced.
Important thins to remember when using Makaton
- Using Makaton is fun.
- Makaton should be used in every aspect of the child's day.
- Always remember to speak as you sign or use symbols and encourage any attempt at speech.
- At first it may be necessary to help move your child's arms and hands to make the signs or point to the symbols.
- Don't give up! It may take a while for you and your child to learn to use signs and symbols.
Can Makaton help children and adults with autism to communicate? TheMakaton programme can be used with autistic children and adults and isrecognised as a useful method of developing communication. It can alsobe successfully integrated into the TEACCH and PECS programmes. Quiteoften children prefer to use the symbols first and later develop signs,but there is a considerable amount of evidence that many children onthe autistic spectrum can also learn signs and use those effectively,so there is quite a variation amongst this population.
Is Makaton only useful to peopls with learning difficulties?
Makatonis used by people with all sorts of communication difficulties - notjust those with learning difficulties but also many with an "acquired"communication difficulty arising from a stroke or a tracheotomy, forexample.

Makaton除了可以帮助到一些有语言障碍，或者是自闭的孩子沟通，
其实也可以针对一些还不擅于表达的小宝宝，
也包括好像宇泽这种在语言发展不理想的孩子
之前我看到老师都坚持每个孩子都用makaton sign，
包括一些已经很会说话的孩子，也不能例外。
刚开始的时候我并不理解老师的用意。
可是参考了一些资料，我想我开始可以明白了。
老师教makaton其中一个用意也是希望让每个孩子都有一个共同的”语言“，
让那些不擅于表达的孩子也有一样的”待遇“，
通过这种方式来跟”大孩子”交流。（希望我没猜错啦）
难怪我最近看宇泽每次跟我说话的时候都带着一些动作的，
原来都是这些makaton sign 
上个星期，老师让孩子们参与一起做pancake
孩子们把面粉，蛋黄之类的一起搅拌，
然后交给kakak煎
每个都吃到津津有味哦 |
