If only there were more like it! (2006-08-18)  I have purchased around 6 of these videos in total now for my younger brother, who suffers from Downsyndrome. Only so many as he has watched them so many times that the videos have worn out! It is an excellent and lively video and i wish there were more like it. As he speaks and signs i think it is perfect for all children, not only those with special needs! Highly reccommended!!!
Excellent for my daughter and me! (2006-04-12) We were first lent this video and my daughter liked is so much that we bought our own copy. I have found it really helpful too as it has taught me some more signs as I have only done the basic Makaton course. The songs are good and there is a good variety throughout the video. It is good for any child though as it contains music and lots of different settings. As usual, Dave Benson Philips is full of energy and enthusiasm!
Educational, yes, but great fun too (2005-04-29) We were recommended this for our son, who has an autistic spectrum disorder, by his Portage worker when he was three years old. It's great fun and widely applicable as a help to communication. The songs are performed with immense gusto and I challenge anyone not to tap a toe as Dave gives it his all. Although they all have signed accompaniment, it's not necessary for the child to know or use Makaton to enjoy it - our son, in fact, developed enough speech for this not to be necessary but still loved the tape (and returns to it now from time to time, some years on). Dave moves from the farm to the school and out onto the playground for the settings of his songs. Something we found particularly useful was the school setting in that, for a child with social communication problems, it provides a form of virtual interaction with other children: your child can sing along with the same songs as the children in the video and thus gain practice in playing alongside children in what s/he finds a safe, controllable environment. Strongly recommended for any child with some form of communication problem and probably great fun for children without one.
Not for the couch potato child! (2005-01-18) My little 2 and a half year old has Down's syndrome and absolutely adores Dave - he is now making animal and tractor noises, as well as dancing (although he can't walk yet!) while watching. Dave engages with his young viewers and is very clear in his spoken and signed language. Dave has an amazing ability to make sure the child watches actively, with their whole body and all their senses, rather than vegging in front of the telly. This is the only program our boy is allowed to watch! The video is also inspirational if you are considering the use of Makaton with your child.
Excellent. This Video changed my sons life. (2004-08-18) I bought this video after I saw it on in my son's nursery. He loved it and was coming home and using makaton.At the time we were aware that our son had some problems and we were communicating..Just. After watching this video our family have been taking makaton class and now my son is Talking as he is signing. Most people find his actions odd. I do not care he is communicating with us and the world.Thank you Dave and all the wise people at Makaton.God bless you. When is the next one out?
