Each week our pupils, parents and staff share new Makaton signs of the week. We have categorised them into sections below to help find them (click on the image tile below). This term we are focusing on Interoception, so our most recent updates will be found there.
Sladewood has been recognised by Smartbox as a school of excellence for our total communication provision, particularly in our approach to AAC.
Headteacher, Katy Hanna, and our Speech and Language Therapist, Amy Craig, along with a colleague from Belmont had the privilege of speaking at the Smartbox Spotlight event, sharing our inspiring communication journey – see the link below. Looking ahead, we are committed to continuing this work.
