makaton

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can

get free access to makaton signs? Sara (doing VB with my son and, although you

can make up your own signs or use ASL, I’d rather stick to makaton as we’ve

started with it – ie Something special/ makaton nursery rhymes and baby signing

(sort of!) and I don’t want to/ can’t shell out hundreds of pounds. Sara

I'm a member of the NAS. I've sent them

a copy and asked for their response. I'll let you know what they say. Also

the DDA can be found on www.drc-gb.org

Re: MY RESPONSE TO SUNDAY TIMES

I also did a response - I think yours is better! I would like to

challenge the legality of her hate mongering of disabled people - I

thought it was illegal under DDA and would like to challenge her

right to be so offensive in print. Any thoughts?

Her views are akin to racism or sexism - it's not good enough to

attempt to side step offence by saying " not you genuine people "

becuase she is hardly in a position to judge genuine from false.

It's surely a breach of DDA and the Sunday Times should be called to

answer. This isn't a " life style " piece - much as morons like her

would like to pretend otherwise.
