Meet the Tutor
Hello!
My name is Jayde!
I am a Regional Makaton Tutor based in Manchester.
I am passionate about inclusion and accessible communication, I provide accredited Makaton Training and Workshops, Baby & Toddler Classes and more, in and around Manchester and Online.
I am a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator with over 15 years experience, and I am also a proud parent to my son who has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
I know first hand just how important communication is, and how communication barriers can often result in anger, frustration and conflict across all ages and stages.
I am a strong believer that behind every behaviour, there is always a reason and more often than not that reason is a communication barrier.
Everyone has a right to their own voice to express themselves in their own way, and my mission here at Sign and Bloom is to ensure communication is accessible to all, and no one is ever left behind.
