It’s Deaf Awareness week this week so we’ve been learning how to communicate through sign and makaton with youth worker Fatima. 👍👌👋👏 @younggreenwich #deafawarenessweek

#Y5 are introducing this week’s makaton sign ‘purple’ #wetalkmakaton #RRSA #ART23

Here we see Makaton has completely copied the BSL sign - as they have for the vast majority of signs. How do Makaton justify the myth that their signs are easier when the signs are actual BSL signs

These videos by the play team are great examples of how Makaton has in almost all cases directly & fully copied the BSL sign. Makaton say BSL signs are too hard for disabled people and yet they use these very same signs they state are too hard. Using BSL for all will benefit all

Makaton supporters always block BSL users as they can't cope with having their flawed logic questioned. Rather than be open to discuss why the Makaton myths don't add up they just block

Today is Makaton awareness. Did you know Makaton is guilty of cultural appropriation of native sign languages. Did you know that using the actual sign language (BSL in the UK) would be more effective and inclusive #makaton needs to stop

I can't grasp how Makaton advocates can post videos as Makaton when they are British sign language signs. Everyday I see a Makaton video showing BSL. Yet Makaton argue that disabled people can't do BSL signs and yet post evidence that they can by the signs being actual BSL.

Makaton is based in the sign language of each country. So in UK they use the signs from BSL but I'm Fance it would be the signs from French sign language. Makaton isn't more universal and is really quite awful organisation for oppressing natural sign languages/deaf community
