Activities/Sessions


Next week we will be telling you all about our 'Motor Activity Training Programme' (MATP). This will be the first in a series of profiles about some of our activities at Marquisway. Each profile will include the contact details of the staff members who facilitate these sessions so that should you have any questions you are able to get in touch with them. We aim to bring you photographs of each activity so that yu can get a flavour of what is entailed.

Makaton sign of the week.

Clean

1. Hold your non-dominant hand out flat in front of you.

2. Position your other open, flat hand above your non-dominant hand.

3 and 4. This is a single motion. First as in pic 3 drop your upper hand down onto the palm of your non-dominant hand and then slide it away from you and off of your palm.

Thank you to Susan for her demonstration of the Makaton sign 'CLEAN'
