Hi My Names Jake Glennon and I am a MSB Trainer.
When I was 4 years old, my cousin Alice was born with Down’s syndrome. My family started to use Makaton together. Me and Alice have very a special bond and she still inspires to learn and further my training every day so I can help children and adults like her have equal communication opportunities. You can check me and Alice out on our YouTube channel AJ Reports.
I have delivered numerous Makaton Signing for Babies courses to families online through lockdown, I have enjoyed seeing babies and young children engaging and interacting over zoom and watching their communication develop every week. Its so rewarding when I have parents contact me and say, ”look he’s doing his first sign!” or “look at her responding to me“ Its so rewarding that I get to share their big milestones!
From one of my courses, you can expect a relaxed and fun learning environment with lots of singing and dancing and general silliness as I’m a big believer of learning through play! I am so passionate about communication and helping every child have the same opportunities in life as everyone else because IT MATTERS!
Thank you for reading all about me and I look forward to seeing you on one of my courses in the future.
Many thanks Jake!
