Archival Record: Makaton Language Programme Training

1999

A rare archival recording documenting a practical Makaton lesson demonstration held at the Makaton Regional Center for the Middle East, located within the Kuwait Society for the Handicapped (KSH). As the first specialized center of its kind in the region, this footage illustrates the early implementation of the Makaton Language Programme—a unique multi-modal approach using signs and symbols to support speech. The video captures certified instructors working with students and staff, demonstrating the methodology that revolutionized communication for individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities in Kuwait and the wider Middle East.
