Signing

Signing is useful for many different people with communication difficulties and for further information about Signalong, please visit: www.signalong.org.uk

We offer Signalong training to educational settings; please email signalong@boltonft.nhs.uk for further information and related costs.

Parents/carers of children seen by the Bolton Paediatric Speech and Language Therapy Service may need to attend ‘an introduction to communication’ workshop, if their Speech and Language Therapist deems it a clinically appropriate intervention.

For more information about this, please speak to you child’s speech and language therapist.

The Little Signing Workshop

The Little Signing Workshop was created by Nikki Magari, a Speech and Language Therapy Assistant from our service. The Little Signing Workshop create videos, which can be watched for free, using Signalong signs to perform nursery rhymes, songs and stories.
