She is so pleased to have been given this award for her work and delighted that Makaton has been acknowledged in this way, which has given a huge boost to all Makaton users and their families, Makaton Tutors and all other professionals promoting it as well as The Makaton Charity.

"I came across Makaton when my little brother Lucus was born with Down's syndrome.
"Then at age 11, after watching Wayne Barrow sign to songs, I decided that I wanted to be able to do the same for Lucus.
"My mum shared a video of me and it had over 30k views in a matter of days, and it made me realise that other people were interested too. That's when Isabella Signs was created across all social media platforms. Fast forward now 3 years, I have well over 120k followers across my socials."

“At Charlie Farley’s Nursery in Jersey, Makaton training has changed how we communicate with the children.
“It has given us, as practitioners, a whole new skill set to support and develop all our children to become effective communicators, whilst having great fun too. There’s nothing like your nursery teacher signing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer to make a group of pre-schoolers laugh.”
